I'm just starting out on setting up a provider using FreeBSD and would like
some "specifics" on what I need in the line of hardware.
What I mean by specifics are what network interfaces, do I need a seperate
machine for a router, what brand of multi-port serial card will work best with
FreeBSD and support around 10 modems (or what would be a better alternative to
a multi-port serial card) A pointer to a FAQ would be much appretiated, as I
have never set up a network from scratch...
BTW: Here are the particulars of the provider:
560K line to the internet
Starting with 5-10 dial in PPP lines and a couple of direct 56K feeds to
customers
Limited host access (shell style accounts)
Thanks!

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the least....
