I used to use an Alcatel SpeedTouch in PPP routing w/NAT as a gateway for my network - but after a _MASSIVE_ incident with my jetstream billing I have found that I had needed much better logging and ipaccounting to protect my ass. I have subsequently installed an IPCop gateway which talks to the alcatel in PPTP bridging mode. I now have a record of every packet in or out of my network.
Support for the Alcatel comes as standard in IPCop 1.3 and was straight forward to get going.
Less than a hour I would say from a clean box to having the network back up.

List dwellers,

Can any wise individuals using IPCop with ADSL indicate the type of modem
and/or router they are using and any problems they had getting it set up.
Enquiring minds would like to know?

I have a situation involving a dynalink RTA220 and having convinced the
concerned party to try a linux solution have now struck a few stumbling
blocks.

I'd prefer the "this is what I have and this is what it took to set it up"
replies rather than you poor bastard your screwed! :-) If you know what I
mean.

Also on the other hand, if suggesting to a associate, colleague and/or
potential client that they utilise the IPCop firewalling solution what
type/model of suitable ("for the scumbag Telecom Network") ADSL devices
available from a reputable "Christchurch" sited company can people suggest.

This is not my only problem site as I also need to convince the owner of a
Ni500 to make the move as well.

Anyway, regards all and have a nice happy evening.

Andrew
