You might want to think about switching to iptables. I find it to be a
better firewall.

The \ at the end just mean that the command is continued on the next line.
The above would look like this:

ipchains -A input -i eth1 -p tcp --source-port 1024:65535 -d extIP 100 -j
ACCEPT

-i eth1 input interface
-p tcp type of protocol
--source-port 1024:65535 all port in this range 1024 thru 65535
-d extIP destination port 110 (??)
-j ACCEPT Allow it to pass
