Shorewall users - Sep 2002 - Anybody Configure Shorewall w/ Sangoma WANPipe T1?

Hi,

I learned about shorewall a few days ago and am quite impressed with how
easy it was to create a powerful firewall. I set up a test system with a
cable modem and it worked flawlessly.

I''m going to be building a Router/Firewall for a new T1 that will be
using a Sangoma WANpipe card w/ integrated CSU/DSU to connect to a T1.
Has anybody done this yet, or do you know if it''s possible to use say
the interface WANPPP1 or whatever it is called instead of a standard
ETHx device?

Thanks.

I used both together and there is no problem in using any name you want
for the interface. Actually in my case I use names more meaningful to my
network (like wanxx where xx is a known internal code). Just use wancfg
to change the interface name or edit /etc/wanpipe/wanpipe1.cfg and
create a config file in /etc/wanpipe/interfaces.

For people who don''t know what Sangoma cards are, check their website
at
www.sangoma.com. They have a great T1 with integrated DSU/CSU and a
synchronous RS232 port for a ISDN backup modem for example. Also all
their drivers are Open Source. Imagine the possibilities :-)
