Am I missing something, can I share the in addresses in some way or can they be the same as the ethernet address?

I don't do a lot of dialout yet, but I'd really like to see this kind of thing in FreeBSD. Would it have to be patched into the user ppp software, or as you said would it be done as a set of daemons? > Jordan ---Scott Halbert Thunder Network Technologies
