Instead of IpCop you should use Smoothwall GPL.  IpCop is a straight copy of 
Smoothwall GPL 0.99 except they haven't released updates to cover the secruity holes 
that the last 15 smoothwall patches.

www.ipcop.org  has the logic built into the firewall software.  There are others 
out there too.

Basically take two old PC (486 or better.  With VPN maybe P5/200 or better.)

Install two network cards in each. One for Red/Internet, One for 
Green/Internal Lan.  Load software (about 10 minutes).  And setup VPN on 
side, copy to diskette and load in other.  That is it.

There are better directions on the web pages.
