Hi, I've got the same modem as you but the routing is set up correctly. I used drakconf to configure my setup. I see in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts that ifup sets the default route and ifup-ppp deletes any existing route prior to that. It's quite complicated. I'm also planning of setting up a fw using fwbuilder as a front-end. Do you think it is possible to define the external interface in our case since the address we have is not fixed and the interface, ppp0, dissappears from time to time. I haven't looked into it I must admit but if you have any experience...
