I had tried setting up webmine in the past and couldn't get the setup
working completely. I think that may have been because I wasn't using a
java browser to talk to it then. Thanks much for these firewall
suggestions.

You can try Shorewall, that's console based and if you've setup webmin you
can also manage it using a webinterface.
If you are more in to colors you can have fwbuilder... It's a gui based
firewall configurator that compiles shellscripts that setup iptables.
Nice thing about fwbuilder is that you manage multiple fw's remotely, even
from windows machines. Using ssh it copies over the script and applies it
to a firewall. The interface is very checkpoint like.
All these are iptables based... Check it out@
http://www.shorewall.net
http://www.webmin.com (this has it's own iptables mangler also!)
http://www.fwbuilder.org
If you need something that gives you most control on the console on the
actual firewall in case of an emergency i would go for shorewall as
everything is local. But i mainly use fwbuilder, if i get in trouble i
just iptables --flush or have a vanilla fw script (made with fwbuilder)
ready.

So what happens if you can use debian but can't use any G.U.I. since none
of the G.U.I. will talk yet? Is there a console equivalent for guardog?
I'm totally blind and when I use a debian equipped computer I do it alone.

Thanks for your time!
If you are talking about a personal firewall for
your PC, have alook at
Guarddog. It configures IPtables, so you only need
to run it to
configure or reconfigure the firewall. Its a KDE
program, but runs in
Gnome with no problems. Its also easy. Have a look
at
