I found smoothwall unreliable often crashing after a few hours. There are
other solutions which stop up for months on the same hardware.

That's not true Chris. IPCop is a recent fork from Smoothwall GPL and
as a result is almost identical at the moment. It is however

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

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

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