Amazon.com has this for $14 and there are places with it for $5 (list is $49) which shows
that its being dumped. The amazon reviews are revealing....and it has only 1 star.... "an
extraordinarily badly documented product.." and "Kensington USB (you'll suffer baby)
firewall"

If he must have a Firewall beyond XP's, then get ZoneAlarm Suite whch I use on my Piii
Laptop, won't let anything in, even if you have it set to share and you're sitting there
giving permission... or some Norton product, like Internet Security which is almost as
effective, but listens to your desires to share something, and works better with P2P
networks, if he's into that kind of thing.

As for OS/2, well, we have a firewall built-in, that has a interface you can get on Hobbes
and you can buy Injoy. IF you want password protection, there is that keyring software
which I think went opensource, and you can put encrption/password protection on the
passwords that Firefox uses (or better yet, not store them) and set firefox to wipe all
cookies and session history when it closes.
