You can help with this project!

I need some help from people who (preferably) meet the following qualifications:

• Hands-on experience with setting up and maintaining dial-in servers based on FreeBSD
• An hour or two to invest :-)
• A spare machine with a modem or two, and with ethernet card

You can help me in two ways (I think the first is simpler and easier)

1. Send me working examples of configuration files, which (when applied to generic system) will produce working dial-in PPP server. I AM reading the handbook, but my experience in this particular area is NULL, so I'm not likely to produce something usable in the nearest future.
2. or, Get a copy of the "ISP" floppy, boot it, and tell me what is missing/wrong with the setup, basing on your experience and preferences.
3. You can also get the scripts I used to create the floppy, and tweak them to you liking, and then send me the diffs...

Keep in mind the purpose of this floppy: to enable an ISP to start a small (perhaps even diskless) dial-in machine, which could authenticate the customer and offer him a PPP connection to the Internet.

Thank you in advance - your input will be invaluable, and hopefully will result in cheap and reliable alternative to commercial comm servers. This is what I'm dreaming of... :-)
