I just started using a freebsd box for my ppp connection after using a
Solaris 5.4 box for some time.  The connection is to stay up all of
the time to provide a low speed (28.8) permanent connection to the 
internet.  Should this box be a "gateway", a "defaultrouter", and what
should the routed flag be?  

(BTW, the solaris box couldn't hack it.  It kept dropping the connection
and crashing every week. :*(  )

Thanks,
