I'm using ISDN (HomeHighway) as there is no ADSL in sight around here.

My current connection is through a separate firewall box running Smoothwall. It
just ran out of the box so no complaints there.
Previously I used isdn4linux on a Mandrake box. Took a while to work out what
went where but worked pretty well in the end. I think the main problem I had when
learning it all was working out the difference between sync and async connections
and how the ISP handled security.

Cheers,

Pete.
