This system handles about 40 domains, 35 WWW virtual servers, over 200 users, public FTP server and 9 dial in lines with PPP - and it works pretty good with FreeBSD 2.1.7. I think, that in your case the only limitation may be the 128 ISDN link. Hardware should work good for even up-to 100 WWW virtual servers if you don't have other services and your WWW sites are not so overloaded like www.micro$oft.com or www.winsite.com :-) Robert
