I'm using it on a 486DX2-66, 32MB ram... Without a problem. Granted,
I'm using it with the firewall system from www.dubbele.com. The install CD
from there includes RP-PPPoE...

!I've also installed rp-pppoe on two systems, and it does in fact use a
!lot of CPU power when in use. A 100MHz AMD 486 is just fast enough,
!and at full throughput uses about 50% CPU time. I have not tried
!mouse-pppoe, but chose rp-pppoe instead for the same reason. It is
!very well documented and very easy to set up.
