It works fine, I was using such a setup for quite a few months before I bought an ADSL router with hardware firewall. Last time I did the setup I had to upload the USB driver for the modem by extracting a file out of the Windows software and then uploading it to the IPCOP box. There was an option on one of the IPCOP settings pages to do the upload. > > Also, I'm going to be setting up VPN to a Cisco 3000 series > concentrator for LAN to LAN which should prove interesting :-) Good luck - its all interesting stuff ;-) James - - - james@sheflug.co.uk
