It's in /usr/ports/net/pppoa. Install it. Then, lookin: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoa.html . Remember, the device "Alcatel SpeedTouch USB" that should be in /etc/usbd.conf must be exactly the same as the detected device while booting-up or as displayed by the dmesg output. You may also refer here for more info: http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net/ Re IP address, I simply extract whatever the DSL connection provides and apply it in my ipfw firewall. I only have one NIC and the IP is static and private (192.168...). The NIC is serving my internal clients in a NAT + Transparent Proxy implementation. > Hi, > I'm organising an ADSL connection and I'm a bit confused about our options. > > We need to provide web, ssh and mail access to our network for users from home > across the Internet with an ADSL connection. > I figure the best way to do this is to setup a new machine to act as a > firewall and run a web server & sendmail on this box.
