We're trying the little iNTEL 1100 and find it's quite nice. One really great feature for ISP use is that during boot, the ROM/BIOS displays and commands are routed through the serial port on bootup. Unlike just having the serail port be the console, where you have to have a video card and keyboard in order to change BIOS on boot, it all comes out through the serial port. I found a video card from a Canadian company (I can't recall the name now) that did the same things, but they wanted $250. We're also installing the BayTechnolgies telnetable and dialup power strips - so combining that with a server that can be totally adminstered through serial ports seems to be an almost ideal situation. We're just bring all this up so I have no history on how will this is going to work. [posting from an admin account - as my local dialup still goes through Verio and they dont reverse the dial-in so mail gets rejected. Hope to have our xDSL up in a week or so]/ I'm really Bill Vermillion bv@wjv.com Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
