I've already looked into it, and spoken to the guy who wrote it.
TDI isn't the best place to be sticking a firewall, it's a little high 
in the network stack.

I plan to implement one as an intermediate NDIS driver, however with the 
current state of NDIS, this isn't currently possible.

If it's still not possible when we come to needing a firewall, the TDI 
one will be the next best thing.
Anything is better than using packet filtering via the win2k ipfltdrv.sys

I'm attaching a network model which shows where TDI sits, and where the 
intermediate driver would sit.
