Unfortunately, since I am just starting this process (starting an ISP on FreeBSD), I can't be much help, but.... If someone does this, it might be a good idea to make the notes that the presenters are going to use for the seminar available to this group first. That way other people could try to make helpful suggestions, AND people like me would have a really good reference of how to do/setup certain things that we aren't real comfortable with yet. brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
