Thoughts / opinions of IPcop, I'm considering implementing this at my company for the main connection.

Who here has used it?

IPCop has served me well for a couple of years as a home/small office firewall. I have not had a high number if users behind it, but for what I have used it, it has performed admirably There are also some excellent addons available and a pretty decent mailing list.

Also have a look at Endian Firewall which is based on IPCop and has some great features - antivirus support, virus and spamfiltering for email.

I have not tried Endian yet but I do want to give it a look.

What specs are you running it on? I'm looking to be serving about 5-20 clients. (That's with headroom)

I have it installed on a PII 333 with 256 megs of ram and a 4 gig hd. I would think anything similar to this should suit you fine.
