<<Just for the record, I think the only value of most software firewalls
is that they convince you to get a hardware firewall... But then again,
everyone's budget doesn't run that way.>>
Never having had a hardware firewall, this may be a moot point, but I
personally like the fact that I get a window pop-up when something I havn't
previously authorized tries to connect out.
Actually I can think of one advantage of a soft firewall. The ability to
control what specific applications are allowed to do. A hardware firewall
can't do that for me. So I can have Outlook for example as the only
application authorized to connect to a specific SMTP server. Then I get
notification if some other application tries.
Just my 2p worth.
