I am using a P5-100 with 32 megs of RAM.  It's running Red Hat 7.0, with
OpenSSH.  It works great for me.

You may consider going to CompUSA and buy one of the Linksys
NAT/firewall boxes.  It's about the size of three packs of cigarettes,
and has a pretty intuitive web interface.  You can do a bunch with it.
