While I think the page is probably well overdue a complete rewrite, this at least mentions a handful of features added to FreeBSD since September 1996. Also remove link to http://www.netcon.com/ who no longer seem to offer the software mentioned. I've left the Novell, Appletalk and PCNFS references in, even though I suspect they are not really important enough these days to mention here any more. Lastly, the "crypto" distro is no longer export restricted as of 2000. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: --- internet.diff begins here --- Index: www/en/internet.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/dcvs/www/en/internet.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.38 diff -u -r1.38 internet.sgml --- www/en/internet.sgml 16 Feb 2007 08:12:34 -0000 1.38 +++ www/en/internet.sgml 10 Mar 2008 14:35:49 -0000 @@ -13,6 +13,9 @@ implementation for TCP/IP software, the 4.4 BSD TCP/IP protocol stack, thereby making it ideal for network applications and the Internet.</p> + <p>FreeBSD 7.0 also includes the reference implementation of SCTP, so is + an ideal platform for telephony and other data streaming applications.</p> + <h2>FreeBSD supports standard TCP/IP protocols.</h2> @@ -20,11 +23,15 @@ to</p> <ul> + <li>Serve static and dynamic web contenti over HTTP</li> + <li>Share filesystems with NFS</li> <li>Distribute network information with NIS</li> - <li>Support remote logins</li> + <li>Handle and provide email services over SMTP, IMAP and POP3</li> + + <li>Support remote logins over SSH and rsh</li> <li>Do remote SNMP configuration and management</li> @@ -36,15 +43,18 @@ lines</li> <li>Use IP Multicast services (the MBONE)</li> + + <li>Provide services over IPv6</li> </ul> - <p>FreeBSD lets you to turn a PC into a World Wide Web server or + <p>FreeBSD lets you to turn a PC into a World Wide Web server, + mail server or Usenet news relay with included software.
