Lots of EDI vendors offer UNIX versions of their software.  There is
no out of the box freeware that I'm aware of.  If you have the basic
ability to interface your data source to different file formats, then
EDI isn't a whole lot more than another standard format.  I've generated
and read EDI files with Perl-based tools for example.  There is also an
emerging Web EDI standard.

Have you looked at fetchmail?  http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/

fetchmail can fetch from designated accounts and forward to your local
mail server.   The way I'm set up, fetchmail fetches from various POP 
and IMAP accounts, forwarding everything to sendmail.   At that point
you can use sendmail's anti-spam (or that of the MTA in use), and plug 
in anti-virus software on the server.  Clam is the anti-virus software
I personally want to look into (haven't yet):  http://clamav.elektrapro.com/

On my own mail server, I set up an IMAP server for my clients using Cyrus: 
http://www.jtan.com/doc/imapd/.   fetchmail forwards to sendmail; sendmail
is configured to hand messages over to Cyrus.

That's what I do.  If I ever get to the point of having a tech
come out (once, and it turned out to be a fried modem) I hook
back up to my Windoze box.  There's no point in trying to get 
them to support FreeBSD or even Linux.  Just get it working 
yourself.  As someone pointed out, Comcast uses DHCP.  I've been
running it on my FreeBSD box for over a year with no issues.
Their support and tech's will tell you that you have to use 
specific OS'es, specific mailers, specific browsers, etc. but 
that's just how they're trained.

One important note I learned early: If you have to reset your
connection, unplug the modem for a few minutes.  Simply turning
it off doesn't do the trick.  e.g., if you move the connection
between a Windows and FreeBSD box when testing, unplug the modem
in between.  Also, watch out for IP changes.  I had DHCP set up 
and working but my firewall rules had a hardcoded subnet.  One 
day a new DHCP lease put me on a new subnet.  If you ante up for 
their Pro service they will support VPN's, your IP will remain 
static except for big network changes, and you'll get faster speeds.

Good point.  I hadn't noticed that difference yet between
FreeBSD and Windows since I only recently built it on FreeBSD.

On Windows the spell checker is an add-on (aspell).

I'd guess the port will be updated soon.  The 0.9.X release
of Sylpheed-Claws is relatively recent (late May), but the
0.9 base it's built on has been a FreeBSD port for a while.
But the base doesn't have all the Claws features.  Hurry up
and wait I guess ... or try to get past those build errors.

I like Sylpheed -- I use both the FreeBSD and Windows clients.

On 5.0 it built with no intervention from ports.  The ports version there
is 0.8.6 ... slightly older, but maybe that's why your build is failing.
ports is the way to go most of the time.

This gets you the 5 if the process is running:

top | grep hlds | awk '{printf "%d\n", $10}'

You want to add the -N option: don't execute a remote command
(or login in the absence of one).  I'd also use -f and -n 
(I think -f may imply -n but it doesn't hurt ...).  That will
also put it in background after asking for the password and
make sure output is properly redirected, etc.

Add those options anywhere before the [EMAIL PROTECTED] piece.

AMD motherboard support

I'm looking at 2 AMD motherboards and wondering if there
are any known problems with FreeBSD:  MSI6378XL and FIAK75.

Any feedback appreciated.
