Source: Freshmeat Daily News wapircgw allows a WAP-capable mobile phone to easily connect to IRC networks. The only thing needed is a Linux box with an Internet connection to act as a gateway between the phone and IRC networks. Users can join multiple channels and talk to others privately just like when using a real IRC client.

License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: The $displayminlinenum configuration variable was added to wapircphp. License information was added to index.php in wapircphp. get_status wasn't called in wapircphp after connect_to_irc, so there were no channels displayed and the status log was displayed first instead of the last autojoined channel.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Nuface is a Web-based administration tool that generates Edenwall, NuFW, or simple Netfilter firewall rules.
