Here is what he wants: (These are the things that have to up and running =

this is not real secure but it will be a temporary fix)
somehow to fetch email from his ISP accounts for all employees and =

IMAP so he can check mail for any machine
auto updates of OS
auto backups using the CD-RW
Eventually he would like faxes and voice mail to come and go from this =

Ok here is the deal, I am setting up a =
new server=20
for a company (just happens to be my fathers). He has heard many =
things=20
about Linux and has an NT server currently. The problem he "knows =
Windows=20
really good", so about once a week he breaks things and calls me of=20
course. He heard Linux was faster, better and of course cheaper =
than=20
NT. So he wanted to go that route. However because I am =
technical=20
support for him I would like to use FreeBSD instead.
I know Linux pretty well. I work =
with Solaris=20
and NT but I dont know FreeBSD. I am the the newbie stages of =
learning=20
it.
Here is the big problem, He just =
brought the parts=20
for the server I spec'd out by yesterday. I have configured it and =
actually have FreeBSD installed. However I cannot get a few things =
working=20
and it has to up and running by next Sunday 100%!!!!
So here is the machine:
Supermicro Motherboard P6DGU =
(Dual Processor,=20
onboard SCSI, USB)
Duel PIII - 650MHz processors
256MB RAM
9G =
IBM=20
SCSI
4G IBM SCSI
2G Seagate SCSI
18G IBM SCSI
Matrox G450=20
32MB
Hitachi 17" Monitor
Yamaha CD-RW
Here is what he wants: (These are the things that have to up =
and=20
running by next weekend or I will be force to use Linux or NT)

dialout internet =
connectivity=20
so that when other machines want to go to internet it auto dials =
performs NAT=20
and acts as the firewall (I know this is not real secure but it will be =
a=20
temporary fix)
somehow to fetch email from his ISP accounts for all =
