[cumbria_lug] Sagem F@st 800 Modem & RH8.0

[Alex Fleming]

Hey all! 

Sorry I've not been very active recently but I hope to make up for that now. 

Finally got broadband - weeyyyy! - and I'm trying to get it connected up on 
RedHat 8.0.  I've got the appropriate driver off the Sagem website but 1 of 
the pre-reqs is the gcc-cpp rpm package.  I've googled it, I've asked Jeeves 
and been on all kinds of linux sites but I can't find the RH 8.0 version of 
the package anywhere.  Any help would be appreciated. 

Once that's sorted and all working, what should I be looking at in terms of 
anti-virus protection, firewall settings or some other thing that could jump 
up and bite me.  Not asking for all the answers necessarily but a finger 
board in the right direction would be good. 

Thanks in advance 

Alex
