I looked into starband a few monthes ago, I did find a webpage where someone
said they hacked the equipment to get it running with linux, so I guess it is
possible but it looked like a pretty difficult hack.
Analog X is a nice and simple proxy , I have used it up till recently,
I think your only problem might be configuring the mandrake firewall to use
port 6588.
hope this helps
