Yes. > If yes, which architectures are supported ? The Hayes command set, at least. I've heard of things called Winmodems, which appear to lose. Some people say they won't work, but I don't know anything about them.

Maybe. > If yes how ? You'll need mpd (multi-line ppp). The problem is, so will your ISP. You'll need to find one who's also running FreeBSD, and who is prepared to do this. But you shouldn't have any trouble running a single 56 kb link. > (3) What is proxy, ip-tunneling, ip-masquareding ? How can I get more info. > about these ? Start with the online handbook. You may also like to read my "The Complete FreeBSD". The new edition will be available from Walnut Creek CDROM in a couple of weeks, and will cover these topics (but not mpd). Greg
