Just set up FreeBSD 2.2.8 on your Intel hardware. 64 megs ram is
enough, although more is always better. :-) Buy a Portmaster PM25 for
about $400. Use exim for your smtp MTA, use cucipop for your pop3
access. Use apache 1.3.3 for your web server. Use ProFTP for your
FTP access. Set up DNS/BIND. Buy an old Cisco for your edge router.
(~$400). Buy a BAT electronics CSU/DSU for $370. They are very ugly,
but they work good. Buy a horde of used analog modems for cheap and
you're ready to roll.
