    We're not supposed to answer technical questions on this list. Its
    is a gathering place for people new to FreeBSD and sharing
    experiencies with others. Check out the FAQ at:

            http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/

    That being said, I'd like to mention that there is a document on
    "Dialup firewalling with FreeBSD" and can be found on your local
    system:

            /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall

    or online at:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/dialup-firewall/

    If you have not found it already, you might get some good information
    from the Handbook:

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html

    If you still have questions or problems, please post it to
    freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org with as much information as you
    think relates to the issue. You'll be asked for more if its
    not sufficient. This is the best place to ask a question and
    you'll get the best answers there.

    I hope the above links are helpful!

    Best regards,

    Randy
