[SLUG] iptables chatter

I've got a dialup at work, and have Derek's IPTables Script (tm)
running. We're getting hit with a raft of packets getting rejected
(Worms and Viruses and Emails, Oh my!). The logged rejected packets are
showing up on the open console, making it impossible to do anything on
that machine while it's going on. I don't know why it's doing this. I've
given iptables the "--log-level info" parameter. I assume the location
to which this stuff is logged is governed by syslog.conf. But the
section in the syslog.conf file that talks about info logging says it
should be going to /var/log/messages.

So how do I make iptables stop all this chatter to the console?
