Hmmmm. so is that pppoe??? or what? do I simply do in the ppp.conf default: set device fxp0 or something?? or do I have to do deeper spookier stuff. At the moment an NT machine handles the dialing and it uses something called DIVA miniwan The Freebsd machine will now do the dialing but it has to be easier than the dopey set up in NT... Help pleez guys. I'd reaaly appreciate it Keith spencer http://travel.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Travel - Got Itchy feet? Get inspired!
