I agree, I like IDS however IDS really should be done on a separate box
as well as squid 1/2 the smoothwall/IPCOP patches are do to addon
software they put on their firewalls.

I agree! M0n0wall has some really cool features like creating aliases of
Networks/Host names. This makes changes quick and easy, especially to
Rules
and Nat setups. I use a CDROM based PC. No hard drive to worry about
crashing also less power usage. If there are any problems, you reboot!I
looked at Smoothwall and besides IDS there was nothing that benefited
us!

I understand your dilemma, however what other products offer is
irrelevant, the real issue is does monowall fulfill your security needs
for the price you pay for it. There are other free products out there
such as IPcop for a prebuilt system or shorewall if you want to build
your own. The added security of the FreeBSD based system and ease of
upgrade especially if you are running a standard PC with a CDROM is what
is important.

Dear M0n0wall Community,
Recently, my supervisor asked me to develop a comparative
chart/information about M0n0wall and other "peer-class/quality"
products. Does anybody can help me to find some few (at least 3 or 4
products) which can be compared to a M0n0wall box, in terms of their
features?

Thank you very much.
