But quite a few people do use it, and many FreeBSD developers are
happy with the status quo, so it is unlikely that sendmail

Hello,

Let's say I have two NICs in my PC: ext_if (for wan/pppoe connection) and

How would you manage to get work NAT with pf using PPPoE from my ISP; I'd like
to use DHCP on my LAN.

Is it feasible to upgrade a system from 6.1 to 7.2 or 8.0-RC1 and if yes what
sequence of upgrades should I actually carry out ie is it feasible to do 6.1-6.2
and then 6.2 - 7.2 or should it be done in small steps?
