McGovern" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm curious if anyone has had any luck connecting a FreeBSD box to the Internet through Media One, or a similar "broadband" provider. I'm assuming they do some type of dynamic IP assignment through their cablecom modem, but, as of yet, their sales force doesn't want to give away details, stating that it'll only work with Mac's, Win95, and Windows 3.1. Any comments? -Brian
