Is it possible to use a FreeBSD-based machine (i386 or Alpha) as a
replacement for a "real router" connected directly to a T-1 or
other telco highspeed line?

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
