Check out the following URL: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp.html It's called PPP - Pedantic PPP Primer. I followed these instructions to setup a gateway for 1 Lose95 client to access the internet from my FBSD box. The Lose95 connects to the FBSD box via a thinnet either-net connection and then uses a modem with ppp -auto -alias to connect to the net. The FBSD box only has to be turned on (ie, after all the setup, which isn't much, is done just leave the FBSD box running. Whenever a request for the net comes from the client FBSD will initiate a connection, login and establish the ppp connection). Hope this helps.
