Hi Dave, I have such experience. I'm using iP5-133 box with Cronyx Omega multiport card (http://www.cronyx.ru/hardware/omega.html), pppd (out of FreeBSD box), mgetty (from ports) and eight USRobotics Courier modems. System works fine since 1996, currently on 4.4-STABLE -- Alexander Naumochkin IPTel Inc. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Dave VanAuken > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 6:41 PM > To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: FreeBSD as multiple line RAS > > > Anyone have first hand experience, pitfalls, or comments > regarding using a > freebsd box as a simple RAS for multiple remote dialin lines. > > Have a client that needs to provide access to a number of > stores, maximum of 8 > at a time.
