I'm interested in having a multi-modemed machine...
Specifically I want to plug 2+ modems into it, and have them act as a 
gateway.. However my caveat is that I need to have both of the modems 
have separate IPs. I know that there is some SW for L*nux that does 
something similar, but its not for FreeBSD. Basically all it has to be 
optimized for is WWW browsing... However I have to be able to use things 
like telnet... I'll be handling web and FTP via proxy...

Once I have that problem dealt with, I am having a internal network via 
ethernet...

any ideas? or am I stuck getting an ISDN/DDS/X.25 ?
