It's freely downloadable for personal use. > As well, Smoothwall GPL runs on as little as a 486; it sets up in minutes, and will work with 1 NIC + an external modem to 3 NIC's - ISP, trusted LAN, DMZ. You admin it via local terminal, http or https, or SSH into it. Nice headless item, tucked away and running erhm, 'smoothly'. Has traffic graphs built in; SNORT, Web Proxy, DHCP, and it's easy enough to install squidGuard into it. Piece of cake, works a treat ;) http://smoothwall.org/home/ cheers, /b
