I will be installing 3.3-STABLE over this > weekend (9/11/1999). I really want to make sure we win. Turn off inetd on the computer, since you have no need for external services. In any case, if you install a recent version of FreeBSD, I doubt Mr. NT is capable of crashing FreeBSD from externally. Just make sure he doesn't have an account on it, since it's much easier to cause Denial Of Service attacks if you don't spend alot of time setting up limits and such.
