Without the great work of the Smoothwall and then of the IPCop team, neither Endian 4i Edge Appliance nor this document would exist. Therefore we would like to thank them all for their hard work.
Thanks to Sourceforge for the hosting. Without Sourceforge we would not have the possibility to gain such a huge worldwide visibility. You are really helping us very much!
