I had a look at it several months ago. The user interface is really 
slick. Comes at a price though. It needs significantly more (expensive) 
hardware to run than IPCop. I also found the email scanning features to 
be inappropriate for a firewall (spamassassin on a firewall? I don't 
think so).

BL, I prefer (and use) IPCop. You can run it easily on an old machine 
that would otherwise be recycled (Pentium I or II, 128M RAM, 3G HDD). 
Something "built for Win95" or later would suffice. Just toss in a 1 or 
2 nics, and you're good to go.
