The question remains... Does FreeBSD work with "intelligent" digboard cards. I have a machine that I would like to route between ppp and local net. I choose Linux to do so, since at the time all I could find about BSD and digiboard PC/Xe was that it was not possible. If this has changed, would someone please point me to the correct information about setting this up. I am getting tired of messing with Linux. ********************************************************** * Christopher Don Cofer College of Arts * * cofer@unt.edu and Science * * Computer Support Services * **********************************************************
