can Untangle measure up to IPCop?

IPCop is pretty simple to use - no Linux experience is neccessary.

All you need is a Connexant based PCI modem or a router which supports Bridged Mode.....The install and setup is self-explanatory.

Although I use IPCop at home....I recently setup a network for a small company and used Smoothwall 3.0 instead. I have to admit, its seemed a lot better than IPCop. Maybe you should give that a shot. Also, there is a a larger Smoothwall community out there.....

Have a read through some of the documentation

Its all pretty straight forward to setup

IPCop is awesome!!!

I have no idea how you would go about this, but I think it should go something like this:

Bridge connections
Dialup into both

Then have some setting in a .conf file to use both devices at the same time....
Not sure dude, seems tricky though

PPPMultilink is needed on both sides to work. And I'm pretty sure that the only place in SA you will find multilink being used is on ISDN and some enterprise internet connections. If they did it on Adsl I would have been really happy. 5x4mb internet line here I come.

Loadballancing also only works if you have alot traffic to diffrent destinations. On a home connection you won't even feel it.

Best is to built a Linux box with Squid and Bind on it, those 2 on combination will make youre internet feel insanely fast. I have written and posted a tutorial on Squid a while ago. If you want me to write one on Bind I can do that too.

Ive been using for quite some time, and always been under the impression its a combination of Squid, IPcop ect ect.

IPCop (and many others) are branches of Smoothwall...
