<snipped> > Just my 2c, > Gilad. I've used smoothwall, till I found about the fully GPLed fork of it named IPCop (ipcop.sf.net). This one worked great for me and for some of my clients and supports pptp out of the box. PS The fork started 'cause smoothwall's lead developer is a real ass. He was physically attacked some time ago ( as rude as he was, I don't think he deserved that). I couldn't believe the treatment he gave to users of the GPL edition in the mailing lists, it was very rude. IPCop developers are more pleasent and helpfull. I suggest giving it a try (their wiki at sf.net seems problematic for now, hope it gets fixed soon). -- Meir Kriheli MKsoft systems http://www.mksoft.co.il ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
