Yes indeed.. I've got my machine set up home with the 3Com with FreeSwan
IPSec Client/Server,PPTP Client/Server, Transparent Caching Server with
Virus Protection and Adult Material Filtering, Sendmail with Virus
Protection and ALOT of other neato things. Linux will do EVERYTHING you
need (you just have to figure our how to do it)

And yes it is vey much ashame that the wholesalers are not selling the
Duallink any more and only the USB version now as they are the best
modems to use with Linux IMHO.
