384kbit (38.4 K/sec, roughly) should be plenty for all but a 
high-traffic high-graphics web site; on a five-minute average,
SunHELP uses less than 15K/sec.  See http://mrtg.mrbill.net.

(however, its a *sustained* 15K/sec, with spikes sometimes
between the data samples; I push about 650M/day email and 
250-300M/day web traffic total...)

FYI, I offer free web/dns/email/etc hosting for Sun/SPARC related
projects or pages; contact me if interested.

Bill
