'Lo all- Question: I have been roped (semi-willing) into setting up a mail host for a financial institution who are trying to get into the i-net thing. Is it possible to use a single 2.1-Stable machine for a router/gateway/nameserver/pop3 ? Off the top of my head I'm thing something like this with a PPP link? ====56K DDS line from ISP====[DSU/CSU]---Async 57.6 out using PPP---[FREEBSD Box] Depending on $$$ and such things as Frame Relay may be employed. The DSU/CSU will do Async RS232 out of the CSU (Patton Model 2500.) The idea is to get a direct and full time link to the out side world. Out of the FREEBSD Box using Ethernet to PC's on everyone's desks. The main idea is to get the server on site so email will flow within the org as well as outside of the org. They already have their domain name with InterNic. Any suggestions? Scott Whittle email: scott@patton.com Patton Electronics Co.
