OK, it sounds to me as thought you do not have you modem set up correctly.
Maybe an IRQ conflict with eth0 (if you have to take one down to bring the
other up), try switching slots if you can and see what happens...do you have
Plug-nPlay enabled in your bios? You may want to tun it off (or on, as the
case may be).
Then go into netconf, or linuxconf and check all your setting for
PPP/PLIP/SLIP...if you don't have your modem configured here (ppp0), that
could be the problem also--I remember back about a year or so ago, when I
actually used kppp for a month, that it has its own configuration, apart
from the system networking configuration. If you decide to continue using
kppp, you'll also have to add a script line to execute pmfirewall start
after a connection is made I don't think it uses /sbin/ifup to call the ppp
scrits in /etc/ppp. And that is where pmfirewall puts itself for ppp dial-up
(in /etc/ppp/ip-up.local).
Since you modem and NIC are conflicting, we need to figure out why they
"just can't all get along" before we can get packets to pass through the
firewall.
