Software router distros with built in AICCU support besides m0n0wall?

Hi, Are there any software router/firewall distros for (old) x86 computers with a web interface and capable of running headless with built in support for AICCU other than m0n0wall? Optional packages which can be administered via the web interface count as built-in for me. I've looked at some of the common options like pfSense, ClearOS, Smoothwall, zeroshell and Vyatta but from what I can tell most of them don't have AICCU built in. In some cases, adding it via the shell may not be too hard but I don't think it can generally easily be added to the web interface. The device running the software router/firewall will be headless after install. It's also fairly old so would prefer nothing too demanding (the connection is only ~15/1mbps with about 5 users). Obviously the basics like NAT, port forwarding etc are needed. I would also prefer some QOS/shaping which doesn't have to be very fancy, I'm satisfied with what m0n0wall has. Per-IP accounting is a must, it's the primary reason I want to move on from m0n0wall. Authentication etc isn't necessary, this is a benign environment. If there isn't any option, can anyone recommend something where AICCU can be added without too much fuss? Bearing in mind my *nix experience is minimal. If I have to use SSH to administer the AICCU so be it but the headless is a must. It would be good if it's still possible to easily upgrade the distro ideally thru the webinterface. Thanks for any help.

Actually make that per IP and time based accounting (since my ISP doesn't charge me for offpeak traffic).

How old? Most likely you can just install Debian and be happy.

Debian has a web interface with minimal setup required like the other options?

BTW the computer I think is a P2 400mhz with 256 mb RAM (lazy to open it to check). It definitely works well with m0n0wall so should be fine with anything else that isn't an unnecessary resource hog (and I don't think monitoring data usage would add that much)

I'm using Astaro. It's an enterprise grade firewall, with built-in support for AICCU and IPv6. However, it is free for home use!

With built-in BROKEN support for AICCU. Clearly it is very hard for Astaro to read that little bit of text in the README which clearly states that one should not be automatically restarting AICCU. There are lots of their 'customers' who are reconnecting about every second to our TIC servers as they are restarting AICCU all the time..... I really hope they finally fix that as it is a burden on our servers, which now just ratelimit these kind of clients, next to the fact that it actually means that IPv6 is not working for the people who are using it, which is the worse issue.
