If hats all your client wants, to retrieve web pages and mail and =
doesn't
care what else other people do (eg. Use MSN Messenger type programs, =
play
Quake now and again etc.) then IPCop is a very good choice.

> allow one or two services (e.g. SMTP and HTTP) in, but everything out

That went over my head! So is it a good match for my client? (probably
only wants web browsing and email sending/collection from ISP mail
server). Why might they need "outbound policies"?

Is ipcop a more flexible option then?

Thanks,
