Greetings!

I am  starting a project soon to try and create an internet server for
a non-profit group.  

Basically the server is to provide basic webhosting, mail (pop and
shell), and allow one other computer to access the internet.
The server will maintain a 24hour link to the internet via a 28.8k
modem. 

What sort of hardware would you suggest if I was to run Linux
Slackware?  As this is a non-profit group, we're running low on funds,
so a balance betweeen speed and cost would be great.

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Equipment on hand :
486dx50 m/b+cpu
8 x 1mb 70ns 30pin SIMMs
2.5 gig HDD
Video cards, floopy disks, ne2000 networking cards, and modems
