What you say is I must configure the channel parameters from the CLI
(with sconfig) and then configure the WAN interface (cp0 in this case)
as a PPP link from the GUI. Is that correct?

In this case I must manually edit rc.conf for the channel settings at
startup, rigth?

I need to know if it is going to work because we don't have much money
for spending in tests. Has anyone done this before? Should I take
another box with FreeBSD 8.X or Linux as a router? A low cost router
with V.35 interface perhaps? Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.
