There are probably stock references out there, but keep in mind that
work type/load is only one factor. There's also:

	o What kind of users will I (he/she/it/they) have to deal with?
	o What sort of work environment is it (can I come in in T-shirt
	  and cut-offs, or will I have to start dry-cleaning a suit)?
	o What portion of the work could (and would be allowed to) be done
	  from home (i.e. telecommuting)?
	o Would there be any junior staff to leverage so I could try to 
	  get those long-term projects done (this is what drives most
	  interrupt-driven sysadmins to drink; trying to maintain high-
	  quality firefighting, while a manager breaths down your neck
	  about some nebulous project deadline)?
	o etc.

These are far more important factors to me, in determining how much I
would expect for a given job than how many boxes I will be supporting.
