Gregg,
Thanks for the input on this problem but the new ipchain rule didn't help. I put logging on all of the rules that I thought applied and only the outbound rule was ever logged even though I could see the traffic going back and forth on the modem. The problem turned out to be the values I had set in the MTU/MRU values in the PPP Options file. I had them set around 572 and when I increased them to 1500 everything started to work.
After I get the other Firewall tools up and running I may tackle converting the ipchains rules to iptables rules.
I like to thank eveyone on the list who has helped me with getting my Firewall this far. It is truly amazing how much better the support is from this list than many of the "Professional" support lines I deal with.
