Some of the questions had me shaking my head and I was a very fresh newbie at the time so I quite understand his point. IPCop was founde by some people I think from the original group and a few others who got a little upset with the original team. There was some accusations flying around for a while on the mailing list but I dont remember clearly, its been a while. I have used both and for a user there is not much functional difference. I think there is still a mailing list for Smoothwall. -- Graham
