[ale] DSL modem problems

[linuxnews at wormfishin.com]

Thanks for your help, I have a question though, I assume it will have to
have an IP address, so my router/firewall can get to it, with it connected
to the router would it be possible for anyone to get in or out, without
going throught the firewall?
