This question probably should have been posted to the freebsd-questions. This isn't really an ISP question, and it would be seen by more people.

There are also the various example configuration files located in: /usr/share/examples/ppp > Preferably no passwds just a "quik" login to connect together > also location2 should HANGUP quickly if wrong number ... only location1 > box will ever dial these dedicated phone numbers into location2 Always use at least passwords. :) Just set the same: set authname MyUserName set authkey MyPassword on both ends of the connection. This will make it at least slightly more difficult for someone to break in through that connection. > Routing; the few Windoze98 desktops @location2 will need to be routed > to the internet via location2's LAN, via location2 FBSD box to > location1 FBSD box to location1's router and finally out the router > which is designated at location1 as the default gateway. Sounds straightforward. Again, have a good read through the output of 'man ppp' and the example config files, then give it a try. If you have any problems with specifics, please don't hesitate to fire off a question to FreeBSD-questions, and we'll be glad to help!
