I have set up a FreeBSD box as a terminal server using pppd.  It all seemed
to be working fine (2 days) until last night when suddenly Windows 95
dial-in users cannot seem to get nameservice.  Win 95 apps like Netscape and
WS_FTP work fine with IP numbers but not at all with names.  The Win 95
dial-in properties have the nameserver boxes filled in correctly as far as I
can tell.  The nameservers are not on the same subnet as the terminal server
but are connected via an Ascend router (frame relay) to the Digex (our ISP)
nameservers.  The nameservers work fine if I do a shell login to the
terminal server and telnet, ftp etc from there.

HELP HELP
please
Charlie Reese
