Has anyone got any suggestions for firewalls to test in a review we will be doing shortly?
we would like to cover the most popular ones, especially ones which are free for home use. all must work on XP. a few retail ones would b an idea too to get a good spread. thanks

Everyone on the planet reviews the usual firewalls, ZA, BID, TPF, NPF but you might want to look at some of the more esoteric among the candidates. I know where you can get them all in one place. You can e-mail me for the info. Admins only.
