Gateway will be a FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE box (installed next week) The computer dialing in will be either a Windows or Mac machine - so CHAP or PAP, I assume. From what I can find, I can use user ppp in -direct mode to recieve calls. An entry in ppp.conf along this line should work: sio2 set ifaddr x.x.x.x y.y.y.y enable passwdauth allow users username accept dns set dnx z.z.z.z enable proxy -with the various x.x.x.x set to the appropriate IP addresses. However, I've seen references to needing getty (and others saying it's not needed) I also came across a reference that said to add "set openmode passive" I'm also rather confused as to what the difference is between cuaa# devices and sio# devices. Help of any sort is greatly appreciated. I'm willing to RTFM, but right now I don't know what FM to read!
