A slightly off topic question to this but does anyone know how a cell 
provider knows you are tethering ?

Looks like you need both:

        defaultroute
        replacedefaultroute

On my system (Debian stable) this replaces the default gw and sets it back
when pppd exits.

I did a bit of reading on this, and found the following URLs that might be
of interest to the sercurity concious.

        http://linuxgazette.net/issue77/lechnyr.html

I was unable to connect to my machine from outside on port 80, so presumably,
at least with Rogers, there's probably some kind of firewall protecting
users.  Which is a good thing if people are connecting to the internet
with Windows machines. :-)

It might be a good idea to try a portscan from outside to see what's visible.
