Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello Sirs, We are about to buy a set of servers to start a small ISP division on our company. We are a Local Cable Company in Panama City, Panama, Central America, that started the deployment of cable modem services a few months ago. We are not and isp ourselves, hence we are using other isp channels to provide access to our customers. The main services we want to offer are: 1. FTP 2. Email 3. Web Server 4. Real Player 5. DNS After a couple of weeks of investigation, we are not sure about what type of hardware to buy for these services. We do know that we want a strong platform which we consider is being offered by Operating Systems like FreeBSD. However, we are not sure about the compatibility of FreeBSD with the variety of hardware options that we are looking for. For example, one of the solutions for our Email Server is a Pentium Based server with a SCSI-3 Raid Controller, and a backplane of hotpluggable hard drives. Do you have any comments or suggestions on this issue. I will appreciate all the feedback you may provide us with. Best Regards, ************************************* Ariel E. Tunon M.
