the box will be used to monitor some equipment via snmpget and snmpset

truthfully a vpn gateway could be used for this, know of one thats small and
not all that expensive?

here is the layout:

internet <-> vpn box or linux box <-> some equipment on a 10.0.0.x subnet
that needs to be able to be remotely monitored and controled through snmp,
but that i dont want actually sitting publicly on the internet
