I remember a couple of months back an article posted that outlined a hack for sliplogin.c that allowed you to assign an IP number to each interface (serial port) instead of each user. I believe this is what you want. You might be able to track it down by searching the FreeBSD newsgroups for the keyword "sliplogin" at http://www.dejanews.com/ : Also, shortly I"ll be switching to a bocca board 16. Is this a hard : task, and is there as well any documentation on this subject. Piece of cake. Check out the FreeBSD.FAQ in /usr/share/FAQ/Text. It outlines the procedure for setting up your kernel. More information can be found in the sio man page. : Thanks a bunch : Tom
