Hello to all!

I have a FreeBSD box that we use as a DNS machine.  We would like to
run this box as a PPP server also, providing dial-in users access with
dynamic ip addresses.  We are finding vast information on the topic of
PPP, but most deal with PPP on a dial-OUT basis.  We need to provide
INbound service.

We will be using Cyclades multi-port cards, as the drivers are built
into the kernel.

What I need is a sort of step-by-step cookbook recipe for how to get
this to work.

I realize that some of the steps and/or concepts may seem basic to
some, but I have really gotten confused now.  Any help would be most
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Joe Buczakowski,
