Remember though, most of what makes happy systems is the administration, and customer support when the inevitable problems occur. I'd be happy with any of BSDI/Open/Net/FreeBSD, _if_ the company has clued-in support. The best system can be pretty awful without smarts and compassion behind it. And don't expect many to run all their operation on a single OS. I can say from experience that it's essentially impossible to satisfy all ISP operations and customer requirements with any single OS. That said I'd pick a batch of 503/971 providers from thelist.com and start firing off OS queries to support@. This should give you a small taste of their relative support capabilities as well. And you might just bounce your question off the freebsd-isp@freebsd.org list. You're sure to get a few replies from alert Oregonians. Good luck, enjoy the green, but take your umbrella. :) Dave On Tue, 22 Feb 2000, Matt Rohrer wrote: > Does anyone know of a list of ISPs using FreeBSD?
