There are a few things that you can do if you want to run a firewall on NT.
1. Hope the kernel holds up.
2. Some HTTP Proxies exists that could be used as part of a firewall.
3. Wait until 1/1/96 when Raptor releases Eagle for NT (estimated time
frame)
4. Wait until Firewall-1 comes out with it (I haven't heard anything from
them about it but why would I)
5. Microsoft MAY be releasing some proxy servers this year.
Basically a number of options but none of them really help now. Keep in
mind that if you use NT for a firewall in the near future, you will be
breaking new ground and it is difficult to determine the level of security
that can be offered. Only source code and time can really tell.
