I've setup a small Windows 95 LAN at home and want to be able to share a
modem to access the Internet using a dialup connection with my ISP
(which uses dynamic IP address assignment, BTW).  I've read that freebsd
can act as a router to handle this type of setup.  Does anyone have
experience setting up a similar system that could point me in the right
direction?  Thanks!
