It all depends on how open/closed you want to be. With a dial-up line
it is not likely (though still possible) that someone will send
packets to your machine. A good rule-of-thumb for security is to
start with everything closed, then open only the stuff you want open.
There are really good IPCHAINS and Firewall hotows on linuxdoc.org.
