I'm trying to do so much with this FreeBSD box! I think it's pretty
amazing and slightly frustrating at the same time.

I'm running a dual pentium pro 200 motherboard. 128M of ram. etc.

I have everything running lovely.. xwindows, gnome, sawfish, sound,
cd-rom, etc. I'm pleased!

My goal is to have my freebsd box out front... the firewall/nat/internet
server.. 

Using this as my basis:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/pppoe.html

I'm trying to get PPPoE to work. FreeBSD 4.3RC. (just cvsup'd yesterday!)

Seems pretty easy if you read that page...

So I add NETGRAPH to the kernel, make a new kernal, reboot... 

set up the ppp.conf file...

but when I load ppp, the kernel panics! You can't even read what's on the
screen, nothing is logged... 

So I'm looking at it, and "optionally" it says you can add
options NETGRAPH_PPPOE

so now i'm compiling a kernel with both

options NETGRAPH
options NETGRAPH_PPPOE

I use sympatico (canada) high speed edition. We're given Dynamic IP #'s.

The handbook instructions for making the FreeBSD box just do PPPoE look
simple.

I figure, hey, if I can get it to do that, then later I can add IPFW, NAT,
etc. but I can't even get it to do PPPoE yet.

Any suggestions?
