To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org We are looking into starting up a small ISP to provide filtered internet access to our area. We will also offer web hosting services. Because of the filtering, we will need to run a proxy server, and we will also be providing a real audio feed for a local radio station. My question is is this: We are on a rather tight budget to start out with. What would be the best congiguration to handle this set up? I was thinking of starting with 4 servers (All running FreeBSD of course). One for PPP dial up and email, the second running the web server, the third running the proxy server, and the fourth running the real audio server. Can anyone give me and ideas on whether this is the best way to go? And if not, can anyone recommend a better way? Also, what is the best way to provide intially, 24 dial up connections. I assume a multi-port serial card, and then just hooking up 24 digital modems. But that part is kind of new to me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
