I am trying to figure out if a certain scenario is possible. i have a mac osx machine and a freebsd 4.4 machine connected via a crossover cable for a small network. i have been able to figure out NFS, Apache, FTP etc. and so far it's really fun. what i'd like to be able to do is as follows: i have a modem on my bsd box and it connects via ppp to a dial-up isp. i would like to configure such that when i request an internet site from my mac, the bsd box dials up the isp and acts as a gateway until i'm done online, then disconnects... is this possible, is it really complicated? i know a windoze app. called WinProxy used to be available to do this. thanks --MM ===== Matthew, Kristina and Ethan McGraw Las Vegas, NV www.kickme.to/mcgrawfam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
