Not that I'm aware of. For a start I'd suggest: * reading all you can (the O'Reilly book "Getting connected at 56K and up" is a good overview of all things ISP-oriented).. * following all the ISP related lists and groups (e.g. inet-access too) * maybe volunteer at a local ISP first (you'll find out it's not as glamorous as you may think when users call you at 3am cuz they can't get at some porn site); you might also try to find a local non-profit ISP that could use volunteer help. * try setting up stuff at home: RADIUS authentication, PPP dial-in, web servers, FTP servers, user accounts that are prevented from seeing each other, logging, accounting, billing software; figure out how to recover when one of your critical boxes catches fire. * learn everything you can about network security: you'll be hacked by both outsiders and insiders.
