Where I come from (Ontario, Canada), there are two predominant forms of DSL service. Residential DSL provides a DSL modem, which you need to talk PPPoE to, or Commercial DSL, which provides a DSL modem and a Cisco 1600. If you're going to get hardware equivalent to the "Residental DSL" service, then you can use PPPoE on FreeBSD to connect. If your ISP will provide you with a router, then you don't have to worry about the PPPoE stuff. In both cases, I believe you'll have to run routed in order to route the block of IPs into via your firewall node to your internal network, or use NAT to do a 1-1 mapping of public routable IPs to private 192.168.x.x addresses. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
