I have a 486 running with 16 megs of ram... but i'm upgrading to a AMD K5 with 32 Megs... I've found that Natd can get quite ugly sometimes... but a lower class pentium will work just fine, if you put ram into it...

It is a small Daemon wearing sneakers. It is normally found on Internet servers and powerful desktops, and moves very quickly. A kill of this poweful creature is enough to tick off any sysadmin. It is highly magical, having the power to serve. It resists DoS and SYN flood attacks. Nothing is known about its attack.
