Does sound like a ppp connection to the three "outstations" would be best fitting in your case. I belive you could just set up a ppp server on your central segment, and the outstations would be able to dial into the central network and "bridge" packets accross the line(s)... good luck! -----Original Message----- From: jonathan michaels <jon@caamora.com.au> To: Derek Jewett <djewett@snowcrest.net>; freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Monday, February 22, 1999 6:27 PM Subject: Re: ethernet segment spliting >On Mon, Feb 22, 1999 at 04:39:56PM -0800, Derek Jewett wrote: > >> Are you refering to CIDR (RFC1878) addressing, where you split one ethernet >> "network" into multiple "networks" segments...?
