Linda,
Now that I see the if-up script the bell rings. I did indeed put it in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.local as the comment suggests. The best reason is that
if you upgrade your box you won't loose your changes. create
ip-up.local and call you firewall from there and you should be jammin.
BTW probably want to make sure that rc.firewall clears all old chains
before doinfg anything. It probably does since most do, but look for
the flush stuff or you might get some unexpected results.
