are there some real statistics on what is needed? I'm setting up a t-1 and 1/3 of a t-1 on a p166 64meg (Bering floppy), I know that's enough for masq, but I want to fit mrtg and ToS (throttling) in there too, so I'm not sure. I could scp (or mail?) the logs and make graphs on a faster pc... what do you all recommend?
