I use IPCop and it's a great way to recycle old computers. If you're spending more than about $50 for a home router/security box and you have old boxes available at no cost, it's actually less expensive, the extra electricity the IPcop box uses is about $15-$20/year. Addons allow scanning using ClamAV and blocking of bad sites using DansGuardian. -- Angus Scott-Fleming GeoApps, Tucson, Arizona 1-520-290-5038 +-----------------------------------+ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
