That's not true Chris. IPCop is a recent fork from Smoothwall GPL and=20
as a result is almost identical at the moment. It is however=20
*completely* free of charge and will remain so. This is not the case=20
with Smoothwall.

My advice is the same as Chris's tho. IPCop has a lot going for it,=20
not least the skills and knowledge of the main developers and the=20
features they plan to implement into IPCop for the future.

Rather than using the sourceforge site, try http://www.ipcop.org ...=20
yes I know it points to the same place, but that may not be the case=20
in future :-)

Also, if you need any help with it, point your IRC client to=20
irc.openprojects.net and /join #ipcop
