I have a strange setup to accomplish, and I thought freebsd-isp might be the place :-P I have to set up a dialin server, so that local users can dialup from home using PPP, and so access the Lan and the outside world. Where it gets tricky is that users _at work_ would like to be able to dial OUT from their office computer. I have thought about several solutions, each uglier than the other :-) : 1) Forget FreeBSD and setup NT with some modem share package :-((( But I would like to avoid it because: - I would like to keep all modems on one machine - ... NT ... (and Artisoft and such :-/ ) 2) Force users to telnet to a wrapper that starts a comm program like minicom, but: - I'm stuck with file transfers and so - Can't use terminal emulators like (hrmmm) HyperTerminal... Thus: Is there any package (maybe commercial) out there that would allow me to dialout using some comm program on Win 3.x/95, on a FreeBSD modem pool ? (Short of writing one -- I imagine you have to redirect irqs and such on the Win box...). -- -- Phil -[ Philippe Regnauld / Systems Administrator / regnauld@.prosa.dk ]- -[ Location.: +55.4N +11.3E PGP Key: finger regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk ]-
