Personal experience says you would want at least a P200 for 
nat/logging/snort minimum.  When you start talking all the other 
goodies, I'd step up to a PII 400, or something at least.  If you're 
going to be doing any substantial encrypted data transfer (ssh, ssl, 
vpns) I'd say your minimum then jumps to a PIII 600 or so.
