Hi there!
I'm a newbie using Astaro Security Gateway V7 which was installed by an colleague who left the company. At the moment I'm thinking about changing our DSL provider - this will affect some firewall settings.
First of all my goal is to setup a kind of backup connection so that the internet will be available for the internal LAN even in case the DSL goes offline. My idea is to connect a new USB device to the ASG. On the market there are USB sticks available with SIM-cards so that the connected computer will be online using a GSM connection like a cell phone.
This should be only a temporary solution in case of emergency, so it has to be preconfigured and manually turned on when needed.
My question is:
Does anybody know if the ASG7 can be configured for this kind of device? I suppose the USB-stick has to be connected directly to the astaro computer... thus I'd need to find a cell phone provider who offers appropriate linux drivers.
Did somebody realize something like that before or is it a completely stupid idea?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Pavel
