Is it possible to use a FreeBSD machine (connected to the Internet by SLIP) as a router for the local network? If so, are there any particular complications involved, or is it a matter of setting up the SLIP connection and compiling the router options into the kernel? ______________________________________ |Brendt Wohlberg | |Department of Electrical Engineering | |University of Cape Town | |e-mail: brendt@dip1.ee.uct.ac.za | |______________________________________|
