Will ZoneAlarm work on ROS? I know that it stays

Since the goal of ROS is to be binary compatible with Windows NT, I
would say yes, but I also think ZoneAlarm is a horrible Firewall,
there are many better Firewalls available.
The best solution would be to create a new Firewall for ROS or change
an existing one the way we want it, to include it in ROS.
Considering there is no decent open source firewall available for
windows, and the fact that including one is a _must_, this is exactly
what we will be doing.
I've thought occasionally, since the MS Win[9N][xT] TCP/IP stack is based on
the *BSD one, that it should be possible to adapt the OpenBSD firewall/s to
the MS Win-compatible TCP/IP stack. I thought of it when my Mum's MS Win05
box went online, but haven't had the time to do anything about it.
What do people think?
