Hi we're also in the process of setting up something like this. So far I've been sent some suggestions, basically a spec is as follows PII 300 256/512 Mb ram 9.1 Gig SCSI hard Drive Adaptec 2940 SCSI controler I originally thought i needed more processor speed - wrong! RAM and drive space. I can send on the responses I got to a similar question if you like. as to vendors it kinda depends on where hope this helps. al -----Original Message----- From: Imad M Tarabay [mailto:imado@cyberia.net.lb] Sent: Monday, October 19, 1998 11:32 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: New ISP Hi There, I got your e-mail address from the web. We are setting up a new ISP, and are in need of some help. We looked into several alternatives, like Sun, Silicon Graphics, and Linux based solutions. We got the recommendation of using FreeBSD. Our objective is a small ISP will a targeted objective of 1000 users within the 1st year. My question is what would the recommended hardware be? What specs? Any preferred vendors. Same question applies for the Web, Proxy, FTP, Billing, Chat, and other software servers. Thanks very much for the help.
