     Help!?!

     I've been running 2.0.5 off and on since it came out, and its been a 
fun challenge.  I haven't run up against a problem yet, that wasn't caused 
my my lack of experience. (The software is that good!)

     But now I've almost ground to a halt.  I've run 2.0.5 on several 
different computers in succession, and have finally convinced my supervisor 
that we can't live wihout at least one copy running somewhere. (Hooray!)

     I'm running the CERN httpd in proxy mode, so that all the people on my 
internal nets can access the internet. (It works well.)

     My next project, and the reason for this message, is that I can't find 
enough information on how to set up a server-side ppp link. I've read the 
FAQs, and what I'm looking for now, is a DSI. (DumbShit Instructions) If 
anyone has any pointers or war stories they would like to send to me outside 
of this list, my address is robert.clark@pii.com.

     My server system (FreeBSD 2.0.5) is at work, and has an address on the 
internet 199.44.1.202 (not the real number).  I'd like to add a modem so 
that I can dial in from home, and use the web proxy (also on the same 
199.44.1.202:8001 server).
     My home system is running W95. I'd like to put the home machine on the 
same 199.44.1.x segment if possible. I can reserve addresses as necessary.
     The end goal of this phase of the project is use the web proxy from 
home.  Later, after I've worked the kinks out of my understanding of TCP/IP 
routing, I'd like to set up gated or the like, to allow remote dial-up 
access to anything on my nets.



                                             Thanks, [RC]
