Oops! Almost forgot...
Amongst the available machines for my project, add the following (sorry...
one is about 1 year short of being a 'classic', and none of them are VAXen).
--Mid-90's vintage Pentium system, dual-CPU, 64MB RAM.
--Two NCR 3300 series MicroChannel/486 systems, at least 32MB RAM each.
--One NCR 3450 series MCA Dual-CPU 486 system, 64MB RAM.
--One IBM PS/2-90 series, 486/50, 32MB RAM.
Thanks much.

Any one of these will make a decent fire wall system. Check the net,
there are plenty of sites and distributions for this type of work.

Not if he's to run NetBSD (which was a requirement). Judging by the
current state of the NetBSD MCA support, he'd have to run the NCR firewall
on a TokenRing network. And the day when NetBSD sees support for NCA
dual-CPU 486 MCA systems should indeed be very far off.

The only thing I'd say is that you need to be certain that your ISP supports
an unfiltered connection for its DSL customers. Most providers filter NNTP,
WWW, and email traffic before it ever gets to your feed, so you're dead
unless you can get a "special dispensation" from above. All providers are
capable, but it normally requires (1) knowing someone in a position to
render the special dispensation and (2) making a "donation" ranging from a
6-pack to a 2-week vacation on a private island with Christie Brinkley. In
most cases, all that I know of, it must be arranged surreptitiously.

Qwest does not do this. I have already discussed with them the fact that I
will be running servers. They have no objections.
I will say I'm amazed that any DSL provider would, if one has purchased a
static IP block as I have, try to impose restrictions against servers.
Isn't that what static blocks are for?

Yep. I think they were referring to the dynamic DSL you get in a lot of
places.
How much do you pay for your service? Soon stockholm and my IIci running
NetBSD will be on their own network, but I want to start pricing. I need
to run servers also, and static IP. PacBell was asking something quite
horrific.

Qwest doesn't (yet?) filter on the dynamic IPs either...

I haven't tried WWW and email yet, but USWest (now QWest.net) doesn't
filter NNTP... I occasionaly connect to my local news cache to get
an article I want... Our newsfeed at work is worse than horrid...
