Organization: /etc/organization Date: Thu, 29 Dec 1994 02:41:00 GMT Message-ID: <bluewiz.1.0042AE4D@cts.com> X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B final beta #4] Keywords: FreeBSD firewall web-server mail-server news Sender: news@crash.cts.com (news subsystem) Nntp-Posting-Host: bluewiz.cts.com Lines: 21 Hi: My company is planning for a 56K Internet connection, I thought that a FreeBSD machine would make a good firewall/gateway/server machine. I've done some browsing & some lurking, but I still have some questions: 1) Is there a Web-server for FreeBSD ? 2) Will FreeBSD route between two Ethernet cards (and can it filter while routing) ? 3) What are minimum/reasonable hardware requirements for FreeBSD ? ( I browsed the FAQ quickly -- coudn't find this ) Pointers to FAQ sections & detailed answers appreciated. Thanks in advance, Robert E. Mack, Jr.
