Re: [PCTECH] RE: IP-Cop Firewall

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To be honest, that is a LOT of hardware to run just a firewall.  You should
have no issue running a small office on a 200 Mhz system, as long as that is
all you are doing with the hardware is being a firewall.  Granted, IPCop
could require more, but if it does, it is a horrible resource hog and would
make me wonder what it is doing to require all that hardware.
