SBC doesn't know officially support FreeBSD which is kind of surprising these days as various other venders (via google search) have setup info for freebsd and their service. At any rate, it will work. Since all new service via SBC uses PPPOE, that will need to be configured on your system to use dsl via SBC. Have a look at the handbook link below. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html -- Micheal Patterson TSG Network Administration 405-917-0600 Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
