Amancio:

This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would get great publicity for
FreeBSD. Imagine being able to say, "Set up a FreeBSD system with
this package, and you'll be able to retrieve your incoming voice mail,
FAX, and e-mail using your browser's e-mail client!" That's enough
motivation to get people to set up a FreeBSD server even if their
desktop machine has to run something like Windows.
