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.
