Yes, the Ricochet modems work wondefully with FreeBSD, either iijppp or pppd. I'm probably violating an NDA, but apparently Metricom is developing a application note to go along with the modems on how to set it up with FreeBSD. Basically, you set up the Ricochet just like any other modem, other than it runs at 38400 bps maximum. The biggest trick is getting the chat script to work properly with the gateway. I go through the UofO and it has a very simple login sequence, but logging in through Metricom's main Internet service will be different. I can provide my user ppp configuration block on request.
