Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We are looking at building an ISP platform of choice based on FreeBSD. We are looking for input on what people would like to see in the platform. Below is a list of ideas that we are currently planning. (remember we are headed for the ISP's that both have a clue and don't have a clue.) We plan on beta testing all of our software in public view and then giving away most of it for the betterment of Free Software everywhere. Web based user signup server automated INN setup (WEB FRONTEND) Automated virtual hosting configuration (WEB FRONTEND) DNS Administrators tool (WEB FRONTEND) Manual user admin tool add,delete,modify,suspend (WEB FRONTEND) Router Configuration helper for CISCO routers (WEB APPLICATION) ISP Billing software (WEB FRONTEND) (We will want all the input we can find on this part so we are able to make a package usuable by everyone.) RADIUS/TACACS+ Authentication software configuration tool PROCMAIL/SMARTLIST Mail list generator tool (WEB FRONT) At this point we are going to market for people using external Term Servers to simplify things a little bit. If you have anyother ideas or comments on what we plan on doing please let mw know ASAP, because this is current working development. Matthew S. Bailey, President Journey Communications, L.L.C. PS. Currently buying ISP's at $125/user Not more than 2000users at a time. Mostly in the greatlakes / Kansas/ Missouri regions.
