It seems to be that a P75 will work fairly well for handling the PPP and firewall system. I guess the main problem will be how much RAM I can find to put in the machine.

PCI maybe... with some UTP to hook the 2 computers together. The P75 will only have the PPP services, and the firewall running on it. Everything else will be running on the 2nd computer. I just want to experiment a bit with using firewalls, and networked PPP systems.. so I thought this would be an interesting start.
