Hello List.

I would like to read your opinions on 3 open source firewalls. I know
they are all from the same source base, but over the years the code
has been altered in all 3 of these firewalls.

1. Smoothwall
2. IPCop
3. Endian Firewall

If you could explain any experience and or comments in regards to
these firewalls. I would like to install one of them for a SOHO
environment. Are these firewalls secure and robust enough for todays
Internet threats?

Thanks for your help.
