I have used FreeBSD as a "router/gateway" for some time, but it has been within the LAN with an ethernet connection to the Internet. In my very limited understanding of the way things work, there would need to be some kind of CSU/DSU thingie between the "router" and the telco's wires... thanks, craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
