ADSL modem: dummyer = better ?

[Thomas TS <ttsoares () orion ufrgs br>]

Here, GNU/Linux experienced user but newbie about ADSL modems.

If one wish to choose an ADSL modem with security in mind... a router
one (with NAT).

Imagine that one hack into de modem itself, as the admin.

Imagine that behind the modem is a GNU/Linux box as the default
destination of all packets. The S.O. is tight, updated and well pose
firewall. Two NICs, a second level of NAT, etc...

What the intruder still could do to harm the LAN ?
