Personally i thought BI was good until i used a dedicated linux box with ipchains/iptables.
Recently i needed to test a firewall for a client, and i had much success with Tiny Personal Firewall. It seemed more configurable and more useful than BI ever did. I dont mean to start anything here, but http://grcsucks.com/grcdos.htm is the ultimate companion to http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm. It sure puts an interesting slant on everything Steve Gibson wrote. My 2 cents.
