Ideally you should use the machine connected to the ISDN line as a
gateway for the rest of your LAN.
If you could get an ISDN adapter with a Linux driver, configure the
LAN then throw PortSentry and some proxy software on there, you should be
ready to rock. I'd pass on the RH7.0 and either revert to 6.2 or wait for
the next RH point release.

Errrrmmmm, They offer a talk and surf option, your phone/fax will
work with that. I beleive this option is nothing more than a 64K link
[Standard line + Adapter] and a standard line [Sans adapter]
Btw: Do they offer dual 64K links? [If they do I assume your billed
for two calls...Y/N?]
