For PC users the minimum specifications are as follows:- Specifications Minimum Processor Intel Pentium 133 MHz RAM 32MB for Win 95 or 64MB for Win 98 / NT Hard Disk Space 1GB for a new system or 100MB for just the modem software Video Memory 4Mb Graphics Card AGP CD ROM Internet Browser Operating System Windows 95 / Windows 98 / Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000 USB Ports Needed for the USB modem Ethernet Card Needed if using ethernet modem PCI ATM Card Needed if using internal modem Question -I know it works over the TCP/IP protocol stack so I can use FreeBSD, Linux, Mac, etc etc - On the above item it specifies I need to setup "special client" software, isn't it a matter of binding a IP address to the second ethernet card? - How would I get that special client software to work on FreeBSD?
