(for everyones info, "mail.freebsd.sol.net" is a 486DX/33 with 32MB RAM and a 600MB SCSI-I disk on an AHA-1542B, it serves as secondary DNS/mail/ NTP time server for sol.net, also hosting Kerberos, printing, IRC, MUD, and an X11 console. Oh, and it was doing all that with a very very low load average of about 0.01, so I offered to provide mail exploder services on it too to FreeBSD... it's busier now :-) I consider it to be representative of how excellent a system FreeBSD really is). I do plan to make some changes, but not out of any burning necessity. ... JG
