And no installation problems? It won't block JAWS like many other
third-party firewalls? Thanks for the info.

For that reason alone that is the major difference. The firewall will
protect you from both inbound and outbound traffic.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Free and accessible firewall
Hello all,
Amongst going through my e-mails I saw one I sent to the list about a
free and accessible firewall. now the time has come for me to tell
you. I've been trying Privatefirwall from www.privacyware.com. It uses
a web interface which seems to work well with JAWS. The system tray
icon and the context menus also work. So do the alerts that pop up. By
default though the alert only appears for 30 seconds (you can see the
number of seconds remaining when tabbing through the alert), so you
need to be fairly quick to decide whether to allow or block the
application. During installation, which uses the typical Windows
Installer service, applications you have installed are detected and
thus allowed through by the firewall, including JAWS.
Think that is all I have to say for now. Any comments or queries can
be sent on or off list.
Since it's free I am wondering if David or Rick can put it on their
programs page.
P.S. The program works with Vista and 7, but it should also work for XP.
Enjoy!
