What I'd like to do is set up a FreeBSD system, connect with SLIP, and use
that as a (slow) gateway for 10 Macs on an Ethernet LAN. Before I go any
further, (I've got BSD on installed), is this even possible? If you don't
mind, can you give me a rough outline of the steps to take?

thanks,
Mark Eaton
