What I really want to do is establish a small local ISP (200-300) users and split the operating costs among the users. NOW- is BSD (part of)the way to do this? What more than the server(BSD) do we need to connect to the net? Phone line(?) or what? OR DO WE STILL NEED TO HAVE AN ISP TO CONNECT TO, OR CAN WE GO DIRECT TO THE WEB????(IF YES< HOW) Told you we were Newbies (but we're sincere) If I'm barking up the wrong tree please let me know - but if it can be done point me in the right direction.
