Yeah, it kinda makes my $150/mo service seem like cheap full-coverage (http://nakedape.cc/managedfw). I don't pretend that it's the utmost in security, nor that it's a full-blown IDS; I just do the sort of things a normal sys admin would do--lock down the box, keep updates installed, and watch the logs. It's not 24x7 coverage by any means, but I get log reports every hour and when I'm at my computer (which is most of the time), I get them. For the customers, it's a pretty damn good deal--that 3 minutes here and there that I spend looking at their log reports probably adds up to 3 or 4 hours a month.
