Greetings,
I am becoming fed up with my demon dial-up service, and by chance I have
inherited a Speedtouch USB ADSL modem. I am planning to try to connect to
plus.net using the Premier package. I have downloaded linux firmware from
the speedtouch site,
I am currently running Redhat 7.3.
I have downloaded and installed the
speedtouch-1.2-8rh rpm
I have followed
SpeedTouchUSB-HOWTO using Benoit Papillault's OpenSource drivers
and set the configuration files except for some details to be established.
I have spoken to plus.net and they seem to be reasonably linux-friendly.
I think that I am more or less ready to go. Are there any absolute
horrors that I ought to be thinking about?
I did have a look at ipchains, which seems to have been installed by
default, but I get the following message:
$ ipchains --list
ipchains: Incompatible with this kernel
Is this likely to be a problem?
John O.

It won't physically stop you connecting, no, but does iptables work?
You will need it to filter out and block malicious connection attempts.
