Hi to all at FreeBSD.org. After 7 years of working and studying the DOS/Win/Intel combo and avoiding Unix at all cost, I think that I have come to the point where there is not much more to learn or to be challenged by. So I decided to start studying and using something that I had refused for all this time - Unix. Being kind of new at it and at very technical internetworking technologies and communications I get lost some times. That's where FreeBSD comes on scene. I've read on a document I downloaded from your site, that one can use FreeBSD, a pre-historical i386 computer and a COMM board to build a low cost router. Now this is where things get more complicated. I have built a Netware 3.11 network at the office and I need to know the following: 1 - I think I can use FreeBSD to establish a Internet server. Am I right? 2 - Can I then connect my NW3.11 network to the FreeBSD Internet Gateway so I can use it in dual mode (Internet/Intranet)? 3 - Can I use a FreeBSD system to provide dial-up access to my WWW site (multi-line, multi-modem)? Any and all help would be appreciated, as would some book tips on these subjects. Thanks for the time and attention. Best Regards Rui A. aquadata@telepac.pt
