Negraph/ppp can act as a gateway for pppoe connections but I am not sure how that helps you. How do you get the ADSL sessions to terminate on an ethernet in your office?

That very much depends on what you think the topology looks like.? > Since ADSL is a Point-to-point link > over Ethernet, does the protocol / one ADSL line support more than one IP, > or will everything have to be aliased? the single ADSL line CAN support several PPPoE sessions, and each PPPoE can support one ppp session and each PPP session can support multiple IP sessions, but only one set of endpoints. To understand whether this helps you we need to know a little more about what you want to do. > > Thank you > > Takashi Kiguchi > > _______________________________________________________ > Send a cool gift with your E-Card > http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message -- __--_|\ Julian Elischer / \ julian@elischer.org ( OZ ) World tour 2000-2001 ---> X_.---._/ v To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
