I like BOF because it reports the commands as well as the attempted 
ports.  As near as I can tell, BOF protects against 7 ports, leaving the 
other 65,528 open.  It is not a firewall, so I installed ZoneAlarm, a free 
firewall that is easy for a Windoze-weenie such as myself to use.  I was 
not sure my NT machine was at all safe, even after following all the NT 
security instructions I could find.  I think BOF never sees any packets at 
all any more, which is a pity.
