Usualy they're netware, WfW, or Mac's on ethernet. I think the best way to do this is to drop a small unix box on their networks to act as an Internet server of sorts. It can run SLIP on a modem and route for the network as well as being a news/mail server, etc... I know that I can set up a 486 that will do this using and of the ???BSDs or Linux. However, I would like to be able to expand the system to handle a 56K or ISDN connection when the client needs more bandwidth. Is there any sync serial support under any of the BSDs?
