I know Linux pretty well. I work with Solaris and NT but I dont know
FreeBSD. I am the the newbie stages of learning it.
You should be OK then. There are similarities. :)
Here is what he wants: (These are the things that have to up and running
by next weekend or I will be force to use Linux or NT)
file and print shares ( I dont know samba real good.....yet)
Well, under Linux or FreeBSD, samba is your best option. There is a
config tool that will help you out, SWAT, or you could use webmin.
dialout internet connectivity so that when other machines want to go to
internet it auto dials performs NAT and acts as the firewall (I know this is
not real secure but it will be a temporary fix)
There is a really handy tutorial on how to setup ppp to do all that
you want at: http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/index.html
somehow to fetch email from his ISP accounts for all employees and
download it locally to the server
IMAP so he can check mail for any machine
This should be the same under Linux, a lot of people use Fetchmail,
and IMAP is in the ports tree.
Eventually he would like faxes and voice mail to come and go from this
machine by using email (not quite sure what I am going to do about that one)
You could use HylaFax, that has some nice functionality, there are
other packages too.
Good Luck.
