It holds an internal web-site (Apache) with a Web-Based E-Mail system for pupils and teachers (1600 addresses, the disk space is going quick) this is a modified AtDot system using CUCIPOP to server the messages. I've also allowed school staff to upload web-pages for teaching, ie. A page with links on to different sites for a certain school project. The FreeBSD machine also handles internet access for 30 PCs and Macs thorugh a ISDN line using PPP, I would use ML-PPP if Demon supported it. Just shows what can be done with a good OS.
