Well there's a Freelance project related to migrating to a newer
kernel sources (using Debian):

http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/Linux/IPCop-debian-package.html

I have worked on a debian IPCop in the days before current ISO drop
in, with custom binary sources (which is DEBIAN based [gee if you can
build the sources on it, it's DEBIAN - duh!]).

IpCop in it's current iteration uses the old Linux 2.4 kernel (with
all it's related limitations).

And the subject of this man's email was not argumentative.

It was solved (5 minutes after he posted it) - terminal emulation for
