X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hi all, I have a FreeBSD 2.1R connected to my ISP via a single WAN port router and a CSU/DSU for 56k dedicated leased line. I need to hook up a 2nd FreeBSD 2.1R box which is about 2 miles away from the 1st box. This box should be able to run either 56k leased line or 28.8k dial on demand to the 1st box. I prefer the former permanent connection. I have sufficient IPs allocated by my ISP for additional routers etc. Can someone suggest some affordable ways, what additional equipment needed and any particular setup or changes on both boxes. I will post a summary to the list after receiving some responds. Thanks in advance! -- Andrew Ong aong@lynx.dac.neu.edu aong@lynx.pc.my
