Light Firewall for 98SE

I am happy with ZoneAlarm free but find it too draining on an old 98se pc.
Can anyone recommend a low-resource firewall that runs on 98se?
Thanks.
 
Perhaps your RAM is too small and/or your CPU is too slow? Otherwise you're probably looking at a hardware firewall.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, it is an old, slow PC I use for testing stuff on (reformatted many, many times...). Upgrading is not an option - I'm just after the most efficient software.
 
Update: resources tested

Update:
So I was recommended Sygate, which I tested against ZoneAlarm by monitoring resource usage:

My old test pc - Cryix M II, 158RAM:

With no firewall, 97% resources free.
With Sygate only: 92% free.
With Zonealarm only: 84% free.
