FreeBSD to Win2k via Modem?
Hey AO,
I’ve been looking into local ISP(s) for possible internet provision. I couldn’t find anything I like for an affordable price… SO I figure- why don’t I just set up a dial-in server(ras?) on my friend’s machine… Many of my friend(s) have broad-band connections, and none of them mind sharing a lil’ with me :D
Server-> My friends machine Runs win2k (I dunno why, he is very familiar with *nix, but refuses to switch? Go figure) I’m running FreeBSD/Mandrake, what would be the best way to connect these two machines via modem.
Client-> FreeBSD, as far as I can see the common/default dial in protocol is PPP?
If anyone has any advice they could lend me, It’d be greatly appreciated :)
Has anyone done something like this before?
Or- will there be no problem at all?

That would probably be the easiest to setup. On the W2K configure RRAS to allow dialin. Then use ppp on the freebsd-box just like a 'normal' isp connection.
