Hi,

I'm looking for a way to connect a 3.12 LAN via ISDN to a site
which has a fixed Internet connection and runs FreeBSD.
What I need to know is:
What software should I use on the 3.12 side ?
What hardware should I buy for both sides ?  (preferably external
ISDN devices)
Does it make sense to set up a FreeBSD box on the 3.12 side as 
well to handle routing/email etc .. ?
The 3.12 side runs MS mail (I think), should I set up an SMTP
daemon on the 3.12 machine, and kick sendmail on the FreeBSD 
side when a connection is established ? (it's a dial-up link)
Or should I use UUCP ?  (over TCP/IP when the connection is 
established)
Is this setup possible with FreeBSD on the one side, or should I
use an NT server (or something) as some kind of ISDN terminal 
server ?

Regards,

- Rob.
