Hey all, The company I'm working for is currently using D-News on NT for usenet. I'm a total newbie to the NNTP game, but am under the impression that Dnews isn't a very good solution for an ISP with 20k users. I think I want to reccomend something like Typhoon, and I need to get some hardware reccomendations, like single or dual CPU system? how much memory? what kind of storage subsystem? I'm thinking a dual cpu box with as much RAM as it will take, and 100+ gig of RAID or Appliance would be the way to get this started, but I need validation on this. Another option might be to use MFS, and not have any fixed disks in the machine itself, and use a network applicance for the spool. Thoughts and opinions? -Troy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
