He told them he had a Linux box, so they did give (sell) him an external modem. I want to set him up a NAT/friewall box to allow all his computers to access the net, using a BSD box. Can anyone give me any information of how Bell South DSL is set up? dhcp? Ethernet, PPPoE? If the later, could someone point me ot some docs on this, I have never run inot it before, what is it/ why use it? -- Stan Brown stanb@panix.com 843-745-3154 Charleston SC -- "Be careful not to step in the Microsoft." -- John Denker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
