Help! I would like to replace my Ascend single MAC address internet router with a freebsd box doing the same thing. Currently I have 6 static ip addresses. xxx.xxx.xxx.233 is the address of the router. (To be replaced by FreeBSD) xxx.xxx.xxx.234,235,236,237,238 are assigned to computers on my lan... though they all don't need real IP addresses, only a couple really do. I have the Motorola bitsurfr ISDN pro adapter setup and working. I can dial my ISP using cu and PPP stuff comes on the screen. There is no login. It is on DOS COM2: The ISP uses chap for authentication, but they tell me pap would work fine. I would like the FreeBSD box to bring up the connection on demand and route packets from fellow computers on the lan. How can I set this up? I have spent one sleepless night working on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Mike Dorin
