NT is... ummmm..., well. Anyway... the general order of things is this: 1. Build BSD gateway with 2 NIC's: one for the subnet, the other for a direct connection to the motorola box. 2. Get a DHCP *client*, build it, then install it(I use www.isc.org) 3. Get rrlogin.c, compile it, run it(http://people.qualcomm.com/karn/rr). 4. Do the admin such as setting up /etc/host, /etc/resolv.conf, etc 5. Set up your workstation(s) 6. Put on your happy face. It works and works well. -Chuck To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
