> Black Ice is said to have a pretty good firewall for DSL users.

Anybody know a good firewall that will work with Sygate (program that
allows computers to share a phone/cable modem) on NT? 

I recently installed Sygate and like it a lot but its built-in firewall
is fairly primitive. My port 39 (file and printer sharing) is exposed
although not terribly vulnerable because I unbound it from TCP/IP.
Still, it's a "hacker magnet." They sell a separate firewall program but
there is some question whether it will provide any more protection than
I already have on an NT box. I emailed tech support and asked them.
After more than a month I received a form letter as a reply so they
aren't going to be any help.
