I recently changed my dialup router box from Debian Linux Frozen to
FreeBSD.  I've had a pleasant experience so far.  cvsupping to the latest
sources was incredibly easy, as was the process of making a new world and
kernel.  Additionally, the boot time's quite a bit better, too.

I'm currently using UserPPP with its included NAT.

I encountered problems, however, when I tried to play a game of Starcraft
over battlenet.  It said that it couldn't connect on UDP 6112, which is
understandable, although it threw me for a loop momentarily, as Linux's
IPMasq did this just fine.

I'd heard (from FreeBSD users) that userppp's included NAT is somewhat
less than capable, so I tried setting up natd with userppp, following
the instructions for natd in _The_Complete_FreeBSD_.  I had no luck
at all--boxes on the internal network couldn't see outside.

So I tried setting up kernel PPP, but that was even worse; I couldn't dial
outside at all.

I've googled, searched the FreeBSD documentation, and the mailing list
archives to no avail.

Is there something that I've missed?

Regards,
