Nothing so grandiose. :) In this instance, cablemodem service is "1-way" because the cable infrastructure in this neighborhood does not (yet) support the "reverse channel." :( Dialup (for the "outbound" connection) is to the cablemodem company. Fwiw, this is also similar to the way residential satellite Internet service is commonly delivered; residential 2-way satellite is in early deployment. -kc >From 01031149@3web.net Sat Sep 1 19:49:45 2001 >Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2001 15:28:23 -0600 >From: Duke Normandin <01031149@3web.net> >To: Kenneth W Cochran <kwc@world.std.com> >Cc: Freebsd Questions <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> >Subject: Re: NAT with >1 gateway interface > >On Sat, Sep 01, 2001 at 09:58:09AM -0400, Kenneth W Cochran wrote: >> - Connected to a "hybrid" aka "1-way" cable-modem, >> - "Receives" via cablemodem/Ethernet (fxp0, config'ed as 10.0.0.11/24) >> - "Transmits/outgoing" is via analog dial-modem & ppp(d). >> - "Real" ip-address is established by (kernel) pppd (ppp0), >> and is "officially" dynamic, even though it always (at least >> right now) gets the same ip-address. > >Just out of curiosity, why this kind of connectivity?
