Has anyone tried Firepanel XP? Is it useful?

It's a front end for the XP SP-2 firewall. I'm wondering if it could be
useful enough to make the XP firewall all one needs. So far reviews aren't
that enthusiastic, but considering what some front ends have done with IE
for example, it could turn into something better.

Try this one:

FireLogXP

This is a simple program for people using the Internet Connection
Firewall (ICF) in Windows XP. It will read the log file and show you who
is trying to get into your computer, and through which ports. The data
can be filtered to include/exclude protocols, connection types, and TCP
flags. It includes connections to on-line resources to give you more
information on what a specific port is for and how it may be being
exploited.
