Actually, I think its code is based on the BSD networking source code. I currently use it on my work systems (Suns are what our modems are hooked up to at the moment) to give a PPP connection from home. The basic overview is that my home systems are setup as private network (10.x.x.x) IP addresses. By default, my home system is 10.0.2.3 and it presents a 10.x.x.x address that I can use at home that gets mapped my work DNS server, another address that gets mapped to a SLiRP control port (I can telnet to it). At any rate, this doesn't require any special knowledge on my home FreeBSD system (aside from a PPP chat script that does login:, password:, then passes a "exec slirp" command and general IP address config stuff). As far as the Internet is concerned I'm coming from one of my work systems (my home system isn't _really_ on The Net)...works fine for most stuff I care about as an occasional network client. It can even do some port redirection (so I can set my $DISPLAY to ":5" or whatever on the work system and it gets mapped to my home X11 display). I think there's some stuff to let you allow for access to telnetd and ftpd on my home system from work system(s), but I neither need nor use that stuff. I've posted my config files and description of the setup to this mailing list (or possibly some other freebsd-*@freebsd.org list), so looking for my last name in the archives would probably turn up something if you're interested. -- Scott Blachowicz Ph: 206/283-8802x240 Mathsoft (Data Analysis Products Div) 1700 Westlake Ave N #500 scott@statsci.com Seattle, WA USA 98109 Scott.Blachowicz@seaslug.org
