Iptables is more powerful and flexible that ipchains.  It does stateful
analysys, for one thing.  This means that you can create a rule that
says "Block all incoming traffic from remote port 80 unless it is part
of a connection started by a machine from subnet x.x.x.x" and other more
wise and wonderful things.
