Couple ISP-type questions:

Hardware:
What are the options in hooking up to a full/partial T1?  As I
understand it, one would need a csu/dsu and then a router.  I might want
some dial-up connections and I heard that there might be some high-speed
serial boards that have the csu/dsu built in.  Anyone heard of any?

FreeBSD:
What is a good way to provide an email-only user account?  I will use a
pop3 server for access.  I'm guessing that I need to not provide a login
shell for the user?  Any other strategies?

Thanks!

Greg
