Hello, I am in the final stages of converting a local company over from a Windows NT / Back Office type setup to FreeBSD 4.2. The final step is allowing remote Windows 95/98 clients to dialin using PPP and becoming part of the LAN. The gateway has a 56K modem on /dev/cuaa0 as the permanent uplink. It has a 33K modem on /dev/cuaa1 ready for dialin. I have read the Handbook, and a number of FAQs and How-To's from various sources, and it seems there is more than one way to solve this problem -- what I can't determine is which method is suitable for this setup. Basically, I need to know whether I point getty to the device via /dev/ttyd1 in /etc/ttys, whether I run /usr/sbin/ppp (in addition to the /usr/sbin/ppp that's already running for the uplink) with a different entry in ppp.conf, or whether I run /usr/sbin/pppd. Once I get moving in one of these directions, there seems to be enough documentation out there to get me going. Can anyone give me headstart on this? -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:paul.hoadley@student.adelaide.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
