Hrmm :) Yes you will need to use radius.. A good radius package is cistron-radius.. Also you may need to use qmail for you pop server etc.. Do you have an accounting system for all this? DHCP would be done by the cisco... Also you should use quotas on you web structure ... If your going to have alot of hosting that may get unruly and slow though ... -=>Adam<=- lures@mozcom.com wrote: > Seeking advice from existing ISP's that provide the general > public with 56k dial in service. > > I a Building a FreeBSD 4.0 server to be the work horse of an > ISP I am starting up.
