Checking briefly on my openwrt install here, each connection
seems to decrease the amount of free memory by ~250kB.
The shell itself then uses around 90kB on top of that.

That's on a MIPS type platform with uClibc and Linux 2.4.30,
with AES encryption and md5 hmac. You should be able to get
it lower by turning off some algorithms etc, though not sure
by how much.

Cheers,
Matt
