Depending on what RR area you're in, they use different equipment and have different requirements. In Akron, they (finally) dropped the login program requirement, and strictly use DHCP for everything - no big problem on FBSD. If you're on the same type of net as I am/was, I have a login program that works for this area -- same setup as Hawaii and a few other Road Runner areas -- you're welcome to a copy of it. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
