See the doc page http://ipcop.org/index.php?module=pnWikka&tag=IPCopDocumentation , particularly "features" and "software used" to get an idea of the extensive capabilities. There's also m0n0wall http://m0n0.ch/wall/ that's BSD based, but very stripped down. And these guys http://www.mikrotik.com/ have lots of good stuff for DIYers. -R
