Having used both FWTK and Gauntlet, I'd say "go with Gauntlet". Both come
with source, so if you want to hack at it you can. Gauntlet has a bunch
of really nice features that are not available in the FWTK;
Transparent FTP and Telnet outbound.
Real Audio proxy.
POP Mail proxy.
Better reporting.
Remote configuration.
VPNs.
The list goes on...
Just my $.02
