Look for extra serial ports at the next boot, using dmesg. The new one is your modem, which you can test by starting op some terminal program, i.e. cu or kermit and type at. The modem should respond with 'OK'. (or just try it out using your ppp script) > where i can get help about free BSD & firewall for BSD There are 2 firewalls to choose from, ipf or ip filter. Ip filter is a bit faster then ipf, but tends be a bit more difficult to setup. Both can do statefull filtering and NAT (remember ppp has built-in nat and you should use that when using the modem to connect to internet) Both manpages supply information and on the internet are lots of examples for both of them. (just search for ip filter example or ipf example) Same goes for sendmail. If you want to use it, Postfix is a nice alternative which has more understandle config files and is IMHO easier to setup/maintain.
