Hi all.

I asked about this a while ago but didn't really get enough information so I'll 
widen my scope of my question.

Originally, I asked about accessible firewalls that are free.  I have 
established I think that Zone Alarm is unlikely to be easily accessible with 
JAWS so, if necessary I will go for a paid for firewall though of course, a 
free one would be preferable!

My question is, which is the best to go for?  I don't mind being asked to 
accept or decline any application that wants to connect to the outside world so 
long as the dialogs are acceptable.

I know that Sygate has a free firewall, that Kirio is a free firewall and that 
there is a free firewall called Outpost.  I believe you can get paid for 
versions of these products and all are accessible.should I go for any one of 
these products in particular?

Secondly, a few have talked about Look and Stop.  Is anyone using this?  It 
looks quite promising but the help info is not too accessible as it uses 
screenshots and fairly poor english and I am not clear how to manipulate the 
application rules but I would be willing to pay if this is thought to be a 
particularly high quality product.

Any other thoughts on the best firewall to use would of course be much 
appreciated.

Regards

Graham
