In red hat the masqerading is compiled into the kernel by default, this may be the case with debian ,anyway its worth a go before you go the trouble of a kernel recompile. Also dont forget that you will need to set up the linux machine conected to the modem as the gateway machine. You want it so that the modem is the defalt network so that ip's not known to the system ie anything on the internet are sent via the modem. Pete
