i have a sparc connected to my fBSD box over the ethernet.  What would i have 
to do so that the sparc can go over the ethernet straight to the internet if 
it wanted, for use of ssh, etc.. instead of having to telnet to the freebsd 
box and then out onto the net?

I have a small network consisting of a Sun 3/60, a 95 box and my 2.1.7 
Fbsd machine. I installed a newer version of PPP so it supports aliasing. 

I sometimes use my Sun to access the internet. Only thing I have to do is 
telnet to my bsd machine from the sun, type ppp -alias -auto <myisp> then 
exit the telnet session. Once the connection is up I can telnet and ftp 
from the sun quite nicely.

The above is the routing table from the sun...I mostly guessed on how to set 
it up but it seems to work ok.

Routing table on my FreeBSD machine when the connection is up:

bash# netstat -rn

.0.3 is my sun3 machine, .0.2 is my Freebsd machine. .0.1 is my Win95 box.

Everything seems to work ok.

I dont know if this is the right way to do it or not but this is a way I 
managed to get all the boxes on my little lan working and the BSD machine 
to route packets for them.

Hope this might help....
