The idea is to have the machine dial my ISP on demand (ie. whenever there is traffic for the net), and everything seems to work fine. But the problem is that it insists on dialing out each time I try to make a Telnet or Ftp to the FreeBSD box from another computer on our LAN. Can you offer any advice ? Thanks for your help.
