RedHat + Win-95 + Novell 4.11 + Internet + Mail, and more yet... :-) that is it: envyronment: Novell 4.11 with some win-95 clients. Today running a program called "firedoor", which provides dial-up access to our ISP (and to internet, btw) to all clients. This will be my first experience with linux :-( I am trying to convince the people here to install a linux RedHat 5.1 box, with the following (intended) features: a) dial-up on-demand to our ISP and give to everybody (internal) clients, like it is today - think that it can be called a proxy b) internal e-mail, enabling all clients to e-mail to the other (internal) AND e-mailing to outside world thru the a.m. dial-up (on-demand) ppp. c) e-mail from outside world should be addressed to our internal world, preferably with some automated procedure. It is acceptable manual "forwarding" of the outside mail - I can assume it, or our departamental secretary can do it, but it is preferable some sort of "automation". What I need from you: a) personal feelings and hints and (if any) experiencies reports b) pointing me out what faq's, how-to's, mini-how-to's to study c) suggestion on free software to use for this It is important to note that as I will be using a dial-up ISP connection (no direct link), the proxy must be able to dial, authenticate, connect all connections on-demand, disconnecting after a configurable time with no modem activities. Also, it is convenient to have a "cron" script (sort of) getting e-mail from the isp from time to time, for distribution thank you very much for any tip. jorge carvalho pinto please visit our homepage and take a screensaver for free: http://www.webrasilia.com.br/myra/myraeng.htm http://members.forfree.at/~screen/index.html
