text based fw - using linux like packet filtering

Group,
Is there a text based, linux like, firewall application for windows?

I'm currently using the closest thing I found which is the (now
sunbelt owned) kerio firewall.

I find I cannot set things up so that all smb related traffic just
works. In particular printing with samba and cups fails even though
I set the originating host as trusted and specifically allowed print
sharing.

I want more detailed control of the firewall and to see all aspects in
a text file I can hand edit. I want to be able to try specific
settings and see the detailed result immediately in a log file.

Anyone here that can point me to a firewall app for windows with at
least most of the characteristics above, please respond.
