Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi everyone, One of my friends is thinking about starting a FreeBSD based ISP with pops in several different locations. What would be needed besides modems and the FreeBSD machine to provide slip/ppp services in addition to shell access? I noticed that Whole Earth Network (http://www.wenet.net) seems to be using BSDI machines since when you call, it will just show the standard unix login prompt and you had to add -ppp to do ppp. Is FreeBSD capable of acting as a terminal server? Thanks for any advice anyone could offer.
