To install the source distribution, download ppp-970824.src.tar.gz and type the following: # tar xfz ppp-970824.src.tar.gz # cd ppp-970824 # make # make install # cp etc_ppp/* /etc/ppp/. You now have a copy of the ppp binary in /usr/sbin (you've also got libalias.so.2.3, pppctl and a pile of man pages). The last line copies the ppp examples into /etc/ppp. Now read the man page. There's a bit in there about connecting to your ISP. The "pmdemand" entry in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample should suit most peoples basic needs. > > Matt Bischel > > > > > > > > Question; > > > > Will the intructions in the tutorials section work for FreeBSD version > > > > 2.1.5? > > > > > > > > I need to set up a machine as a gateway to dial an ISP. > > > > > > > > Thanks in advance. > > > > > > > > Matt > > > > > > > > mattb@minn.net > > > > > > > > Andrew Perry > -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.org>, <brian@freebsd.org> <http://www.awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
