I'm not using IPCop with * (I'm very much a * newbie), but I am using it
as a general firewall, and it rocks.  

I have had no issues with it, and I have been running IPCop for several
years.

It is very stable - I have yet to have it crash on me.

It is secure - the box has yet to be successfully hacked (and the logs
show numerous attempts on a daily basis!)

It will handle your bandwidth easily as long as your hardware is not too
antiquated.  For example, I've got it running on a 133MHz Pentium, 128Mb
RAM on a 3MB/sec connection, and it hardly even notices...

Try it - you'll like it.

Austin.
