If so, why run IP over that again? Well, they do for shell connectivity but not from the machine they are physically using. > 4) Are you trying to go around a firewall?

Hmmm, someone mentioned the iij docs were not in english and I know the pppd manpages said this can be done. What I want to do is basically the same thing as SLiRP like how I currently am connected to here now.... 1) I dial out via modem of my FreeBSD box using kermit to astro.Berkeley.EDU directly. 2) I login and then rlogin -8 apollo.COSC.GOV -l vince to this machine 3) I run slirp -P on apollo(FreeBSD) and this will become the ppp server 4) I start pppd on my FreeBSD machine but all my sessions for TCP/IP will be using apollo's ip. What I want to do is do the same thing as what SLiRP does except use my own ip which is part of COSC's class C address. Any ideas on how this can be done?
