I'm sure that had a lot to do with it. I used SmoothWall since like
0.9.4 or so, when I got it as a freebie disc with some Linux rag. I
joined the mailing list and watched it grow. By the time 0.9.9 was out,
I'd had enough. I was one of the first beta testers for IPCOP, joined
their mailing list, and never really looked back. Yes, essentially
they're the same thing. But, not for long as IPCOP transitions to LFS.

IMHO, support is far better with IPCOP, questions get answered
relatively politely and efficiently, very little anger, far better
attitude, a wiki on their homepage, a friendlier IRC channel than SW,
etc..
Some of the developers on that SM credits list are now the core
developers for IPCOP, chiefly, Mark Wormgoor.

But, enough of the flogging. It's dead, Jim.
