It's pretty easy - you just plug the ethernet cards in, set `gateway=YES' in /etc/sysconfig, decide which routing daemon to run. :-) There are some general UNIX books on this if you've never administered any sort of UNIX routing box - I suggest a look at the local bookstore. > Which synchronous/router cards are supported by FreeBSD? I don't know what you mean by "router card", but sync cards are avalable and listed at http://www.freebsd.org - please browse our hardware vendor list. -- - Jordan Hubbard President, FreeBSD Project
