I did set gateway to "yes" in the sysconfig file(and also put the "options
gateway" in the kernel config just in case).  And upon bootup a message
does come across about gateway enabled...  Some one said that the solution
is having the FreeBSD machine act as a proxy arp.  I have "enable proxy"
in the ppp.conf file but still no luck.  Do I need to use the "arp"
command?  If so what do I use for the hex(physical?) address of the
dial-in PC?
Thanks for the help
