or reference to plugging in my Mac OS X laptop directly into my box
with PPP to configure it for the network? What other issues
do I have to be aware of?
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for.
You will probably need to look elsewhere for help configuring your
Mac.
For the FreeBSD side, there are pages in the handbook, as well as the
ppp(8) manual. Let us know what you've tried, and what went wrong.
You can do this by simply enabling your FBSD server's serial port. I
do this on two different machines and things work great. Also note
that I used to handle this with my PowerBook G4. You're going to
probably need a USB->Serial Port adapter. I would recommend the
Keyspan model. I don't remember what terminal software I used to use
as I also have a windows laptop now that I use when I must connect to
the BSD boxes via serial.
