	IP packet filter in both FreeBSD 3.0 and OpenBSD would be
	done using the same software: IP filter written by
	Darren Reed. FreeBSD 2.2 also has ipfw (in addition to
	ipf) - ip packet filter which has been in FreeBSD for a 
	while now.

	Off topic: your subject line is very inappropriate for
	this forum. I hope this thread will not turn into 
	yet another flame war or some such.
	Do you really expect people here, on this list to say 
	"Use OpenBSD" or "Use Linux" or etc?
