I don't know about FreeBSD's support for dsl, but I've got that setup at home with a NetBSD machine connected to a dsl-modem on one NIC and to the local network on the other - works fine. > PS: the gateway is running PF/NATD and dhcpd, and i would like to run it > just like that in the new gateway... thanks Given that FreeBSD supports DSL - which I am pretty sure it does, as Net- and OpenBSD do support it - I think you can go on with your setup. It seems to be pretty popular, in fact. =) I don't know much about ppp, either, but again, I am pretty sure there's good documentation available. For NetBSD, there is a howto which brought me online in less than twenty minutes. But once that's working, a dsl line should not behave differently from a cable modem with regards to NAT and dhcp (you want the machine to be a dhcp server for the local network, I assume). Kind regards, Benjamin
