Just make sure that everything in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file has a space before it, except the labels. If your options don't have whitespace on the left, they will be ignored. :( The essentials are explained in the Handbook, and in even more detail at http://www.ssimicro.com/~jeremyc/ppp.html In the ppp.conf file, you will NEED enable proxy among other things. In your kernel config, you will need to have OPTIONS GATEWAY # I think that's the option... To forward IP packets. You DO NOT need the ARP_PROXYALL kernel option. You will also need at least one "tun" device per modem... Don't forget to MAKEDEV them. Before you rush off to compile that kernel, you should replace your /usr/src/sys/netinet/in_rmx.c file that comes with 2.1-RELEASE (I assume you're using 2.1-Release) with the newer one from -stable, which is at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/usr/sys/netinet/in_rmx.c Just replace your existing in_rmx.c file with the new one, and you'll avoid the headaches of the proxy-arp bug. I hope that helps.
