Gang, what about consumer-based H/W firewalls like LinkSys and Dlink
Routers?
Aren't those fairly secure? As long as there are no PCs in the DMZ and you
don't have a port forward which is compromised?

nahh, BSD is ok, theyve had their legal troubles already in the past from A=
T&T :)

I would posit that a good firewall is only as good as the OS it runs on.
Building a secure firewall on a Windows PC is akin to building a brick
house on a fault line.
I have been using ICF and now the Beta Windows Firewall on my Windows
PC's. These work well enough, though inflexible for my taste. I even
recommend it turned on inside the corporate firewall, many are
misconfigured or inadequately admin'd.
I am contemplating an OpenBSD PF (packet filter) home-brewed firewall at
the home office. Only 1 remote exploit found in the default install in
7 years. Not a bad track record. http://www.openbsd.org=20

I stand by my choice and constant suggestions of Sygate Firewall. It
has
been protecting me reliably for years. I hate black ice, Norton and
zone
alarm.
