Thanks Bob. You answered the question I didn't think of. It makes sense that 
IP-Cop can't manage outbound traffic and, for that, I would still need a 
Zone-Alarm or similar, right? Does Z-A monitor in-bound and, if so, is it 
possible/advisable to turn off Z-A's in-bound processes if I've got IP-Cop 
doing that job?
