Sure, there is : just add "ppp -auto <ISP>" in your /rc/rc.local file As for Cable modems, the main point is setting up a DHCP client and you will find info on the subject by searching the mailing list archives (from www.freebsd.org : follow the <search> button). I have set up the wide-dhcp client with relative ease (the accompanying doc is good - if you remember to add enough bpf drivers in your kernel) Hope this helps TfH > > Also, is there any information about configuring FreeBSD to/with Cable > Modems.
