Re: [OT: OpenBSD] Any experience connecting OpenBSD to ADSL?



I have a couple of friends who did it.

Basically, it's the same thing exactly (like mulix said - use the ports 
rather than the mulix pptp ;). There is just one gotcha, and it is 
documented in the manual. If I recall correctly, you need to disable the 
kernel GRE support.
