The sysad where I work is trying to connect us to the
internet.  He is thinking of running FreeBSD on a "red"
box as router and firewall.

However, his CSU doesn't have an ethernet port, he needs
to run a "fast serial" cable to the PC (i.e. T-1 speed,
roughly 1.5 Mbps).

I have checked the files in /etc/share/FAQ and I don't see
anything.  Did I miss it or is this something that is not
supported?

Please respond via email.  Thanks,
