I was wondering why I did not get any responses. The omition of an appropriate subject was a mistake. Please, no corrective emails, thanks. As stated, below, I am trying to find information on possible ways to build a dialup access server with multi-modem cards, and possibly a passive backplane setup, running FreeBSD. Any information would be much appreciated. -----Forwarded Message----- > From: Martes Wigglesworth > To: freebsd-isp list > Subject: > Date: Fri, 07 Jan 2005 21:51:07 +0300 > > Greetings, list. > > I am wondering if it is possible to build my own NAS using passive > backplane pci boards, and freebsd, instead of purchasing a vender > appliance.
