Hi,

Most of the time it's just pluging it in, which does the trick. Look
for extra serial ports at the next boot, using dmesg. The new one is
your modem, which you can test by starting op some terminal program, i.e.
cu or kermit and type at. The modem should respond with 'OK'. (or just try
it out using your ppp script)

There are 2 firewalls to choose from, ipf or ip filter. Ip filter is a bit
faster then ipf, but tends be a bit more difficult to setup. Both
can do statefull filtering and NAT (remember ppp has built-in nat and you 
should use that when using the modem to connect to internet)

Both manpages supply information and on the internet are lots of examples
for both of them. (just search for ip filter example or ipf example)

Same goes for sendmail. If you want to use it, Postfix is a nice alternative
which has more understandle config files and is IMHO easier to setup/maintain.
Docs are on www.postfix.org.
