Finally made the switch to broadband (stop sniggering) only to find it ten times slower than my dial up.

Eventually tracked problem down to my Agnitum Outpost firewall. Deleted that and the connection speed is fine, but of course it means I'm currently having to run with no firewall.

So can anyone recommend a good free personal firewall (and source) that'll work with Win98SE and broadband without cutting connection speed to 1bps?

Thanks

Well, it soudns to me like there must have been a problem with Agnitum on your machine? Since you have (presumably!) paid for a licence it why not try reinstalling it and starting with a fresh configuration?

Failing the above, ZoneAlarm may have a free version for Win98.
