How much does a 4-port modem cost, and what brand is acceptable to IMC?
(Some people swear by Netopia....)  Presumably the 1-port modem speaks
only PPPoE, so plugging in a hub is not an option?

I've already tried that.  I need the help of some Debian wizard to get
it right.  I think that the requisite kernel module is not loaded before
my port-forwarding rule.  Presumably indie246 is a "spare" IP that is
already routed to the firewall?
