[ Thanks to Falko Timme for this link. ]

"Firewall Builder is a firewall configuration and management GUI that supports configuring a wide range of firewalls from a single application. Supported firewalls include Linux iptables, BSD pf, Cisco ASA/PIX, Cisco router access lists and many more. The complete list of supported platforms along with downloadable binary packages and soure code can be found at http://www.fwbuilder.org.

"This tutorial is the first in a series of howtos that will walk through the basic steps of using Firewall Builder to configure each of the supported firewall platforms. In this tutorial we will configure Access Control Lists (ACL) on a Cisco router.
