Norton Iternet Security 2003 is out. If you can get an old copy of
AtGuard, that would be cooler. Outpost firewall is pretty good. Lots of
logs and has several plugins.

Hi

I have a PIII 550 m/c running Win98. I need a personal firewall for it.
I am looking at Zone Alarm, Sygate and Tiny Personal Firewall as my
options.

My intention is not only to protect my systems, but also to learn
something about logs and analysing them. In light of this, which do you
think would be ideal?

No, I don't have a *nix system and don't intend to use it now.
