I've not come across this particular one but I'll help if I can....
Is this what you have ?
Looking at the Web site it doesn't appear to be a Stateful Inspection Firewall (or indeed ICSA approved) but rather a Packet Filter.
Does it block everything by default and then you need to open what you require up ?

The Trustix Firewall is a full featured packet filtering router, with advanced capabilities including VPN, port forwarding and a graphical user interface for visualizing and editing the firewall policy and behaviour.
The Trustix Firewall represents a revolution within Firewall Management Software, as the easiest to use and deploy firewall on the market. Through the intuitive Graphical User Interface you are able to manage traffic between all your zones as well as port forwarding, NAT and VPN configurations.

Hi Jeff,
It's this one Trustix Firewall
It's working OK, but I need specific help configuring some of the port blocking through the Java GUI. By default, it blocks everything in but allows everything out.
Don't know if it's a Stateful Inspection Firewall (or indeed ICSA approved) firewall.
[stupid question]
Should it be?

That's the one I thought it was.....
So inbound is blocked and outbound is allowed (fairly standard default set-up)....OK....so....
There are 2 ways of doing this
1. Block each of the ports outbound which you don't want to be used (very time consuming and people can get around it) or
2. Bloack everything outbound and only allow what you want (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, POP3 etc).
The 2nd option is more pain at the start but will produce a more secure system.
As to if it should be a Stateful Inspection Firewall and ICSA I would say ......defineatly !!!!!!!!!!!!
Packet Filters are relatively easy to circumvent (as are Proxies (or Application Filters))
Hope that is of some help
