I don't know about "IP tunneling" or "masquerading." If Linux does it, does it do it with a user-level program? If so, it should be relatively easy to port. >in Linux newsgroup someone would have answered my question (I have had >MANY such questions answered the same day I post) There is a lot more traffic on the Linux newsgroups than there is here. There are a lot more people using Linux than there are using NetBSD. These are not unrelated. Have you tried the NetBSD mailing lists, though? netbsd-help@netbsd.org is going to be read by NetBSD developers a lot more often than _any_ Usenet group. -allen -- Allen Briggs - end killing - allen.briggs@bev.net ** MacBSD == NetBSD/mac68k ** Where does all my time go? <a href="http://www.netbsd.org/">Guess.</a>
