Re: RAS
I'm not quite sure what you want to achieve, but for a remote access you can use FreeBSD, as well as for dial-up access point. For VPN you can use mpd. Also you should check the FreeBSD handbook and google :) Ivailo Tanusheff Senior System administrator ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) AD Efren Bravo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/14/2005 09:17 PM To freebsd-questions@freebsd.org cc Subject RAS Hi, Can freeBSD be used as RAS server for windows boxes?

OP:, how many clients do you plan on having access this system? How many modems do you expect to need? Old (but reliable) analog RAS devices are relatively inexpensive to purchase on eBay. Unless you are going all out, analog RAS is what you likely want. These devices then pass their RADIUS requests to pre-configured RADIUS servers, in which mine all run FreeBSD, FreeRADIUS and DialupAdmin.

RE: RAS
Hi, I believe the OP is trying to essentially set up a small ISP, or an access server to the Internet. Only an access server to the internet, I want to do it to connect myself from home (winXP pc). I've made tests but winXP raises this message: error 737: loopback was detected on dialin and there I'm stopped. OP:, how many clients do you plan on having access this system? How many modems do you expect to need? Just 2 clients, my boss and me. Old (but reliable) analog RAS devices are relatively inexpensive to purchase on eBay. Unless you are going all out, analog RAS is what you likely want.

Re: RAS
Can freeBSD be used as RAS server for windows boxes? Yes I used to do that, having pluged in an interface card with 2 serial ports (for a total of 4 ports and 4 modems) The thing was to configure PPP to use Chap authentication (but you need to keep clear text password on your RAS machine). It worked OK, even if from time to time the connection was not released properly, making a port unavailable. That's a poorman solution anyway, as you cannot expect faster access than 33kbps. I cannot give much more details than that as I replaced that machine with a real RAS a couple of years back, that real RAS being an embeded machine running... FreeBSD (version 1.something!) So RAS and FreeBSD? Definitely yes :)) Olivier ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
