Guy, The Linux based firewall you are thinking about is called Secure Business Internet. It is delivered via ADSL, but it is not JetStream. Instead of connecting to the unmanaged network that JetStream uses, it connects directly to Telecoms managed network (making Telecom your new ISP?). When I say managed I mean that they offer a CIR and PIR and better support. Telecom give you a web page that allows you to set up basic filtering based on IP and port. They recommend you still have your own firewall as well. Later David Kirk
