We are not a wholesale dial up provider, so you have missed in your attempt to use an analogy. i.Mail would not be pennies for us, but probably for any wholesale dial up provider. > For the DDNS support, may I suggest Microsft IAS does dynamic DNS > update in response to RADIUS for use of dynamic IPs for things > like ETRN. You can take your Microsh*t recomendations and put them where the sun don't shine. And, yes, I know I am an officer of a corporation who is a Microsoft DSP and shouldn't say such things, but right now I am not acting as that officer, but as an officer of another corporation. I also don't happen to care about providing an un-asked for by client service by doing DDNS. > You just have to know where to buy; I hate recommending a Microsoft > product for this, but since there's no integration on FreeBSD or > other OSs at this time, it's the only game in town. First, I do know where to by _legit copies_, after all I do where the hat of an officer of a Microsoft DSP on occasion. I won't put a production network at the mercy of MicroSh*t. It is not a workable solution. It requires NT, NT can not be made reliable and secure. It is not a technical reality in the form of a working solution. Please don't ever recommend to me again that I should look at a Microsoft product, especially on a FreeBSD mailling list! -- Rod Grimes - KD7CAX - (RWG25) rgrimes@gndrsh.dnsmgr.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
