Is it possible, using freebsd and any additional hardware/software,
to use a freebsd box as a sort of server that would enable multiple
simultaneous logins, from terminals connected to it, to an internet
service provider? Would a slip/ppp connection from the freebsd box
to the ISP be required? Or would it have to be a network connection?
Any help, including bibliographic suggestions, would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
