I am able to establish a slip or a ppp connection to Stanford's slip service from home, using FreeBSD 2.1R. But Stanford's lines are often busy, and I was thinking I might like to use my 2.0.5 setup at the office, connected to Stanford's Ethernet setup, as slip or ppp server. The documentation suggests that to run it as a ppp server, I need an ip address for it different from the ip address I have that's assigned to the Ethernet interface; and I also need an ip address for the machine at home. The slip server discussion doesn't mention this, but it does note that "options GATEWAY" needs to be in the kernel. It may be that it's just too complicated to make the office machine work as a server, but I would be interested in comments on which would be likely to work better and whether I really do need additional ip addresses.
