 I have an old laptop connected to the cable modem running obsd 3.4.
 The installation took about 20min, I did have the config files from
 3.3.

 This being a p100 24mb ram. Network install over 10mbps. And it provides
 dns, dhcp and ssh plus is running a wireless card on host-ap mode.

 And as said PF.
