I never thought to google for IMAGES of the iptables decision tree.

That wikipedia link to the iptables-tutorial link on frozentux.net  was 
SUPERB!  Wikipedia...also a good starting point which I missed.

I did find the fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org/) project on 
sourceforge.   Seems like an ok GUI way to build a firewall set...but it 
comes with it's own learning curve.   Still, one interface to learn for 
multiple supported devices -- could prove useful.


Thanks all.  I think I'm getting a handle on stuff now.  PHEW!
