Hello, I've set up a dial-in PPP server with FreeBSD 2.2.5-R. I've used mgetty (in the ports) and user-level PPP (all is almost correctly explained in the handbook) I've read in -questions that mgetty is probably not needed userland ppp and a modem configured to auto-answer should be ok. TfH PS : how do you hook up your FreeBSD box to the ADSL modem ? (via Ethernet ?) how is the IP address allocated ? (DHCP ?) > I want to try an experiment. Just to know how it's done.
