I have a dedicated IP address (from an Class C pool) for my home
FreeBSD system.
Currently I'm using pppd at the FreeBSD end to connect to a Livingston
Portmaster terminal server.
I'd like to switch things around and be able to connect _to_ my FreeBSD system
_from_ the Net .....
When a IP packet (proto=tcp && port={telnet/ftp/smtp}) is sent to my FreeBSD
system's IP address, I'd like the Livingston terminal server to dial my FreeBSD
system at home and start up a PPP session.
Basically dial on demand PPP rather than dedicated PPP.
I'd like either the FreeBSD system or the Livingston to end the PPP session
after 10/15 minutes idle time.
Has anyone done anything similar to the above ? I read the relevant FAQ's but
I'm unsure if this fall under the definition of server PPP ?
I know the Livingston supports this type of dial on demand IP, but I am
unsure if this is achievable at the FreeBSD end ?
Also, should I be looking at using pppd or iijppp ?
Appreciate _any_ comments/advice.
thanks
tony
