For a quick fix I'd suggest pmfirewall ... just download it, put it in
/usr/local/src, do a tar -xvzf, cd to the pmfirewall directory and do a
# sh install.sh
Sure, it's a dummy type firewall, but it does work, it's a fast setup,
and you can study its ipchains rules to see what it's doing.

Get rid of bind. You certainly don't need that for a stand-alone ppp
dialup connection. Bind is a security problem, not a solution.
