Using slirp on a remote machine in order to connect a FreeBSD machine to the Internet is very much possible. First you need to setup your favorite ppp software on FreeBSD. I prefer user ppp (/usr/sbin/ppp) as it is easier to setup, debug, and Brian, the guy who writes it does a great job. Take a look at /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample for some ideas on setting up a non-pap, non-chap ppp connection. The key to getting this to work with slirp is the "set login" line. You need to set this to emulate your login to the remote system. For instance: set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: <username> word: <password> \ <UNIX prompt> slirp -b 57600 -P" This tells ppp to, with a timeout of 5 seconds, expect ogin:, if it doesn't get it, send a newline then expect it again. Once it gets it, it sends your username. Then it expects word:. Once it gets it, it sends your password. Then, wait for the UNIX prompt and send slirp -b 57600 -P. The -P option is important because that tells slirp to establish a ppp connection. That should get things working for you.
