Adam,

    I've had some experience with this.

    First of all, that connection on your DSU is most likely a V.35.  One
typically plugs this into a dedicated router, and then the router plugs into
the firewall.

    I can't name any V.35 cards available for Intel boxen off the top of my
head, but I know there are some.  I suggest you hit Usenet if nobody on this
list pipes up with a vendor name.

    Once you get the V.35 piece of the equation solved, I'll happily walk
you through the firewall/router setup.  I've got quite a bit of experience
with that.

    Peace,
