You can guard against this threat by only plugging one Ethernet jack into your DSL modem, and having that lead directly to a Linux or BSD gateway box that is under your own control. That way, the DSL modem has no physical access to the rest of your LAN, and you can monitor the upstream Ethernet to make sure that the only packets going to the DSL modem are those that you intended to go upstream.
Which, by the way, is impossible if you have U-Verse and have either television or phone service. -- Shawn K. Quinn skquinn@rushpost.com
