Flame war time in isp list again... */me ducks for cover* Out of all the people who have an opinion on the product none seem to have a clear argument to support there views... It seems the product works great and dose the job without problems, the only valid case against using it that I have seen is people that claim you can do everything it dose with the basic tools included in FreeBSD... This is probably the case for SOME peoples needs, but I doubt this covers everything, and using this tool is probably much easier... Since this is a common topic, if someone who has used the various solutions extensively could write up a comparision/review Im sure it would be greatly appreciated... Maybe Denise could put it on his site... I have yet to see anyone say the thing doesnt do its job, so the only thing you really need to work out is, can you do the job without it and save your self some money? Or would you rather spend the money and save your self some time? There is a fully working demo on Denise's site, and Im sure he would be more than happy to tell you all about it! Good luck! And dont anyone DARE start the Denise vs The World flame war again!!! :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
