Ah! OS/2 is fairly close to being a firewall - unless you have Win machines
online as well.  I run with a firewall that shipped on the DSL router/modem/AP
I got when I went DSL.  The box runs Linux and it is really easy to configure
iptables so that was a painless decision.  Just to see what it was doing, I
configured a Linux box with the same rules and logging - amazing how much crap
it blocked out!
