I have a PC box (Cyrix P166+) running FreeBSD 2.2.2, and am using user-level ppp over a modem to connect to an ISP (dynamic IP). I just got a MAC (powerPC) and want to connect the MAC to the FreeBSD box, and use the FreeBSD box as a router to the internet. I don't want to give up user level PPP, since I have it working perfectly with -auto mode. I use 192.168.64.1 as my FreeBSD box. Also, I have a serial cable which connects my MAC ModemPort (GeoPort?) to a serial port on the PC (sio0). I want the MAC and PC to be able to use PPP over the modem simultaneously, too. I've seen mention of "proxyarp" but I don't have any details. Can someone send me detailed help of how to do this? I'm sure many out there are probably running similar local nets.
