I've been thinking of starting an ISP and I have a couple questions I
was hoping someone might be able to help me out with.  First one deals
with the modems....

What kind of modems would I need to host my users?  Do I want to have a
bunch of external everyday 33.6 modems laying around, or is there
another solution?  Also, what about hosting 56k connections?  What kind
of equiptment do I need for that, and what type of phone lines?  A rough
price for the phone lines would be great!

And in general...what kind of equiptment would I need to start an
ISP...with a 1000 users or so?  What about if I wanted to start small
scale, and have about 10 or so, just to get the feel of it?

And now a software problem...how to I get FreeBSD and Windoze 95 to
establish a connection without user interaction?  Right now I can
establish the connection using the dial up window after the call is
connected, but I'd like to get the full automated process.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance,
Justin
