My recommendation (2 cents worth) is to get rid of that "modem,"
which is causing all that grief, and spend around $300 to get an
entry-level isdn router. I hear good reports, from my ISP at least,
about the Netgear 328 and 348. No more hassles with serial ports
supporting baud rates, NO MORE DIALD! I haven't got any hands-on
time with the models I mentioned, yet, but I have an installation
coming up soon, and I expect it to go smoothly. From what I've seen
of the manuals of these products, all incoming traffic can be routed
through your masq box, giving you, in effect, a second layer of
firewall protection.
More details as soon as the phone company gets its act together, and
lets us do the install.
