You might want to take a look at Smoothwall (http://www.smoothwall.org/)
It will run on as little as a 150 MB drive and includes a web-based admin
package for the firewall part. If doesn't include as much as the regular
distributions, but then it is intended soley for the purpose you
indicated: sharing a dialup connection securely with other machines.
I've set it up, it's fairly easy to get going. Word of Warning: The drive
you install on will be erased and used for Smoothwall!
I found it a little on the basic side in the 20 minutes I spent digging
around, but if all you need is a simple firewall that others can fireup
from a webpage, it does the job.
Good Luck,
Bill Carlson
