Ethernet cards are cheap; is it > worth this amount of trouble to save a measly few pence? (walking in in the middle..) This COULD be done with 1 ethernet card, at least in theory. Not sure the specifics of how to get natd to do it, but it could theoretic be done..but there is a condition that must be met. If the DSL modem is like the ones we provide it can ONLY talk to a single MAC device. Ie, you could not plug the DSL modem into a hub. it must be plugged into a ethernet port of a router/pc/etc. (and therefor this would NOT work.) IF the unit can be on a multi-mac segment, then this could be done. (with both ip networks residing on the same interface..) But realisticly it would probably be better to segregate the two. ....david -- David Raistrick Digital Wireless Communications davidr@dwcinet.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
