Hi, I'm wanting to set up an low-cost internet (mail-only at this stage) node for various "bush-communities" here in the centre of Australia. It seems that FreeBSD is the way to go. However, the concept that I have is similar to Netmail and BBS nodes that toss and scan for mail. I want the communities to be able to dial into this node to either collect and/or receive email. The node will then be scheduled to dial into a live internet node (say twice a day) and exchange my clients email. This way I don't have to pay for expensive live internet connections in an environment where there is little traffic and low line speed available (as low as 1200 baud in some circumstances). Your thoughts please. Is this possible with FreeBSD? Thanks in advance. Paul Tero IT Officer ATSIC, Alice Springs Australia.
