Hello,
     I am in charge of a small ISP that currently runs Linux on all of 
it's servers, but i wish to give FreeBSD a try on one of them. But i have
a couple of questions.

1) We currently have a couple of Stallion Easy I/O cards in our dial in 
   server, and i am wondering if their is a driver for FreeBSD available ?
2) How do you change a users default shell ? I tried editing the passwd file
   to /bin/bash, but even after makeing that change you still get a shell of
   /bin/sh. What am i doing wrong ? 
3) Is their any advantage in running FreeBSD instead of Linux, i.e.. does it
   run better/faster ?

I dont have any problem with Linux, but FreeBSD seems to have a few 
differences that i cant work out, but i want to give it a try, to see if 
it does the job any better than linux.

thanks
