I'm sorry, but what is a "typical ISP"? For example, where are the modems that people are dialling in to? Directly on a FreeBSD box? On a terminal server networked to a FreeBSD box? Are you running a routing protocol of some sort? What is it? How do you start PPP/SLIP for the dialins? Is it done from their login scripts, or are you using something else?
