I would like to know if there is any software, or anyone knows of a way that a server running FreeBSD can be used as an ISDN Internet router. Reason for asking: At home I have more then one computer, plus my wife has a computer. WE both access Internet quite often for various reasons. Currently if we both want to access internet at the same time we have a problem. We are planning to install ISDN, however this does not solve the problem of not being able to access at the same time. The first suggestion will probably be get anther phone line, however a new phone line costs $800 here in Japan... which is around the cost of things like the Netopia Router or other similar products... If I could use my FreeBSD server as the router it woudl be the lest costly solution... Thanks in advance. Matthew Kott
