I am doing PPP via FreeBSD. 1) don't ifconfig tun0 devices. 2) set up entries for each person in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and make ".login" exec /usr/sbin/ppp -direct blah 3) get a nice serial board. The only question I don't have an answer to provide is "which serial board?" I have Digiboards, but they are slow and prone to have frozen ports. I have a Parallex board but no drivers. I have an Equinox board also with out drivers. I hear Cyclades(sp?) is nice, which is the "best" in most people's minds? Risner
