I went to www.freshmeat.net and did a search on firewalls.  It returned
with several freeware packages such as:

Juniper
Firewall Manager
kfirewall
PMFirewall
The Phreak Firewall
TIS Firewall Toolkit

Can anyone reccomend one over another?  I have XFree86 going.

Also, is it worth paying the $100 to get a supported Firewall package?

Thanks in advance,

Mike Coughlan
