There is no linux driver for the satdem card. You'll probably want to
recompile the kernel, in order to include firewall support and
masquerading. The option "optimize as router not host" should also be
considered. Redhat installs the tools you'll need as default.
These are primarily PPP, ifconfig and route.

I recommend using squid (a proxy) on this
machine. http://www.squid-cache.org

I don't know any of the cards you listed. Hopefully, someone else on this
list do :)

Good luck!
