I have two queries though as I think I'm missing something. 1) If you can route traffic through a gateway machine, what is the requirement for a router ? More IP's ? faster routing ? a) Has anyone tried the Linux router project software ? 2) How do you do user password authentication ? RADIUS I assume. What is the best one to use for FreeBsd ? 3) (but you only said there was two ; ) Best/cheapest billing software ? That one just came to me. Is there a FAQ for this list ? Some pointers would be appreciated. Regards...Martin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
