Lance, I don't know if you know this already, but the IPCop box is a dedicated firewall/router. It "should" not do other things and does not need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor as it is usually admin-ed by a browser inside the lan once set up. Also, once set up, it just sits there in the corner. Very stable little boxes. All you need is about 32 Megs ram and a P100, 540 Meg Hard drive, unless you want to VPN. You know, the stuff most people throw away...

Also want to try setting up an Ipcop box - but risk of fireworks from those who live at home (all 6 of them female) is putting me off. Whatever system I have in place has to "work" even for the unskilled users - and especially when I am not there. ciao Lance
