Since the goal of ROS is to be binary compatible with Windows NT, I 
would say yes, but I also think ZoneAlarm is a horrible Firewall, there 
are many better Firewalls available.
The best solution would be to create a new Firewall for ROS or change an 
existing one the way we want it, to include it in ROS.
