I'm willing to setup three PC's on an ethernet network
that will access internet via a 4th PC which will
do the routing on freebsd and will be connected 
with a ISDN connection to our server's cisco.
I have a few questions:
  	* will i have to modify the freebsd sources in order
	  to make a billing of the TCP/IP traffic?
	* can i easily setup a firewall?
	* is there any freeware/shareware software which
	  already performs this sort of tasks?
	* How powerful has this pc to be (the router)?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
