Sounds a bit like advertising... - Anyway, good luck with this, I
promise to have a look @ it and tell You...

In fact, personally I doubt that any GUI will be able to help You
unless You have at least the _slightest_ understanding of what You're
doing; by this I point to the fact that nobody will be able to put on
a firewall/packet filter unless he/she knows about the basic mechanics
involved. If You know, it won't matter whether there's an GUI for it,
or whether You do all this from the command line. And, vice versa.

Cheers, Jack.

PS: I really depreciate advertising here - Anyway, _I_'ll give You
a Go. Get in gear.
