Manuel, Others have answered the licensing question.
Using a firewall to provide NAT services for multiple users on the local LAN with a dial-up connection is completely practical as long as the users understand that if everybody tries to browse at the same time performance will be very poor. For a group of users each of who needs limited occasional browsing capability it works quite well. For your firewall I suggest you look at smoothwall, a complete package including the Linux kernel and requiring only a very small disk. Another alternative is shorewall. Shorewall is available as an rpm and can run on a RedHat machine. The benefit here is that you can easily provide other services, such as dns, smtp and pop, on the same box.
