Could you please let me know:
1. What is the max. number of users able to simultaneously
log into your system, (ie. how many modems do you run).
2. It is practical, considering cpu usage, to run a FreeBSD
system with say the HW you described, both as a router plus
httpd, ftpd, gopher, innd (limited feed), and sendmail all
in the one box for a small ISP of say max. 12 users logged
simultaneously. Or, if a P90 is not enough, a faster
Pentium.
