Is my ipmasq firewall secure enough for pppoe?

I am using the ipmasq iptables script on Debian Sarge, kernel 2.4.25
and recently got a pppoe connection. I get a new ip everytime I connect,
but I might be getting a permanent public IP soon. There's no service
ports open on my machine but how should I check if the firewall is
secure enough? I'd like to know experiences of other such linux users.

Regards,
Bill

Well you could try running ShieldsUp! http://grc.com/
