Thanks for your help.

Would you happen to know if setting up the FreeBSD box as a DNS server would 
allow network browsing over the PPP link???

I have no idea how to bimap a broadcast address along subnets!!!  But that 
is something I'm gonna have to learn!  I only have one subnet, so I'm not 
sure that'll work in this case.

Thanks again.
