My local telephone exchange is becoming broadband enabled at the end of September and I am working on the assumption that I will be able to use it (BT's site says I MAY).
I have a firewall running (Endoshield - very easy to set up) and have just changed it to Bastille which seems to be working (grc.com).
Bastille recommends 'psad' which is also now installed. I had Snort and Samhain installed but do I need these?
Do I need Packet Mangling enabled in the Kernel which it isn't at present?
Advice would be appreciated
Yours paranoidly

I would give BT's broadband sales number a ring just to confirm that your phone number can receive ADSL before you get excited. I was in the same position after I moved to my new house only to find that I was more than 5.5Km from the Norwich West exchange and therefore couldn't get ADSL. I received the same answer from their 'online checker' - you 'may' be able to receive it...
