Ok, here is what I want to do.  I would like to make a FreeBSD box to be a
terminal server.  The only protocol I need is PPP.

  1.  Is the mgetty+sendfax the way to go on the software side?  I have
looked at this some, and it looks like it will do what I want, but before I
dug in I wanted to know if this was the best software to use for my
application.

  2.  I have another FreeBSD 2.1.5-Release Box that already has all the
user accounts on it.  Can I authenticate from the Terminal Server box to
this machine?

Thanks,
