And for firewall, try Bluefire.

P.S. It's best to tell what you're looking for in the body of the post, not just the subject. I had to look to find what "this" meant.

Well, I've never tried to download it, so I can't help you much.

However, consider whether you really need a firewall. Unless you keep a Pocket PC always connected, what are the odds that a hacker will find you?

And, even if they do, what are the odds they'll be interested in a Windows CE machine? I have never heard of any backdoor programs for Windows CE machines or even a story of one being hacked.

There are plently of better Windows and Unix targets out there.
