Very simple to do.... unless I missunderstood something....
Assumptions: ISP domain name ------ isp.com
Account Name --------- boys
FreeBSD system name -- boys.isp.com
Therefore: User 'peter' on 'boys' freebsd server is peter@boys.isp.com
get PPP dialup from FreeBSD server to ISP....
Demand dial PPP is better, let me know if you need sample
config files.....
Setup POP and SMTP between Windows workstations and 'boys'.
Have the Windows 95 Mail utility send all message to the boys' SMTP server
and collect all mail from the boys' POP server...
All users will have a mail box on boys and NOT on the windows machines..
Eudora will read mail from the POP server and send mail to the SMTP
server.. I set this up at my former work place.... It will allow users to
get their mail from anywhere in the local office...
