I would say that you could use either Bering or Dachstien as far as using an analog modem. The problem I can see is at least 90 per cent of the PCI modems are winmodems. I suspect that no one one the Leaf lists are using winmodems with linux. So if you can use a non PCI modem you will find more help and less work to make your "firewall". I have made both Bering and Dachstein firewall with analog modems, both with internal and external modems. I am using Bering at this time.
