sincèrement, je ne vois pas de quoi tu parles ... trop de la balle ce modem....
....Bon après, qu'il subsite qq faille de sécurité, je le sais et je l'accepte... Car la probabilité de tombé sur un hackeur qui m'en veuille, et qui soit capable d'exploiter la backdoor du modem et très faible, comparée à celle que j'aurais si je n'utilisais pas les fonctions firewall de mon modem.

Alcatel is aware of the reported security vulnerabilities to the Speed Touch Home ADSL modem and Alcatel 1000 ADSL network termination device and is working with the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) at Carnegie Mellon University to ensure the concerns raised in its advisory are satisfactorily addressed. Alcatel is not aware of any instance where a Speed Touch modem user has been compromised due to the reported vulnerabilities.
It is Alcatel's policy to provide its customers with the most advanced and secure products. Therefore, Alcatel has done extensive testing of its ADSL modem equipment based on the recently made security advisories by CERT and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC).
The security issues raised are actually well known general vulnerability problems when connected to the Internet, regardless of the type of software upgradeable access equipment being used (cable or DSL modems).
According to recent tests, the primary vulnerability referred to in the advisories does not apply to the vast majority of mainstream operating systems used by residential and small business subscribers, such as Windows 95, 98, 98se, ME, and typical installations of NT4.0 Workstation, 2000 Professional and the latest commercial releases of Linux.
Without a firewall any PC in any configuration (home PC or in a local area network) is open to attacks by hackers. Therefore, Alcatel highly recommends the use of firewalls as a general practice, especially for those with "always on" cable or DSL connections.
To increase the security of its products, Alcatel previously implemented additional security measures to avoid direct interference with its modems by remote users. This Firmware Protection is available in new Alcatel Speed Touch Home and all PRO modems. Alcatel ships the modems from its factories with the Firmware Protection enabled.
