Back in August I upgraded my IPCop hardware, and tonight I finally installed the latest Zerina OpenVPN addon. The next/last thing I wanted to do was to hook up the parallel LCD and permanently mount it in the front of the case.

I had the LCD working on IPCop before using Mario Minati’s LCDProc addon. But when I checked tonight, his site hasn’t been updated since the 1.3.x series of IPCop releases (the current version is 1.4.11).

And this ipcop-users post doesn’t sound too good:

Does anyone know if there is an LCDProc addon for IPCop v1.4.x. I used to use the addon on v1.3 but unfortunatley it did not work on v1.4.x series so it would be nice if anyone managed to get it going on a current release. If not, then I’ll probably try to recompile it and get it going, but don’t want to reinvent the wheel if there is something out there already.

…and there were no responses.

Hopefully someone will compile a version and release it. I can use the LCD on a different box, but I was hoping to put it in the IPCop box.
