Ok, when I was running this setup- thats exactly what I did as well. > I have two dlink cards inside my computer both of which are > pci.

Anyway- I used 2 ISA NE2000 compatibles. (So I had to run DOS utils to set the IRQs etc) > I would like to know, do I have to > have an IP address assigned to the interface? Yes, I believe you do- However when PPP is running is assigns it's negotiated address to tun0(?)- And then pipes it out whatever interface you tell it to- I dnno if it's required, but mine was working just fine that way. > Secondly, how do I configure > the system to read my second card at the IRQ and I/O input values that I > have specified? I simply just recompiled the kernel (since I wanted to lighten it anyway)- But there is probably some way to do it semi-dynamically.
