That's not a firewall.  That's a proxy that needs IIS and NT 4.0 
to run.

Early marketing efforts by MS tried to give the impression that
Catapult was a firewall.

Firewalls are built, not added to a computer.  

Next we'll have to deal with 'Steel Head', where MS tries to make
NT PCs into a Cisco-level Routers(12/2 Computer World) by adding
software over existing exposed and secret security holes.
