I'm using 'ppp -auto -alias myISP' right now, that's nice when i'm using
FreeBSD. Anyway, i have Windows98 and Windows2000-clients on my network.
When i start browser on Windows98/2000, my Freebsd-router starts
Calling/connecting to my ISP, as usually. Bad thing is,
connecting take's too long time and Netscape/IE in WIN98/2000 gives me
"Server could no reach" or "Netscape is unable to locate server
www.freebsd.org".
What i need is something i can connect from Windows98/2000-clients to
myISP and start browser after that. For Linux there is
mserver(http://cpwright.villagenet.com/mserver), maybe there is
something like that for FreeBSD too.

Thank's
Juha
