This is what PPTP does.. it's like PPP where you replace the word "modem" with the word "Internet". M$oft sells client and server software (the clients are free -- download "microsoft dial-up networking 1.3"). I don't know of any freely available FreeBSD software for doing PPTP. Using an NT server is proabaly the quickest way to get it working. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
