I would use something a little more robust for the main location, but
the soekris boxes should do fine on the endpoints. I currently have a
box running m0n0wall that has 256MB of ram, and a PIII 733 processor.
It has 8 tunnels going to it (4 very active). The processor never jumps
over 20%. However, 20% on a 733 processor would almost be maxing out a
soekris box. For 20 to 25 clients, I'd be looking at something with a
1GHZ processor. I'm assuming you will be using IPSEC with encryption.
