Our DSL product (which on paper I am now supporting, but haven't really started yet), should work fine with FreeBSD, all you need is a network card in your PC and dhcp running on that device. You'll either get a IP address from the DSL modem or from the MegaCentral if the modem is in bridge mode. Paul. -- Paul T.
