RE: Running an ISP w/ Linux

[Bobby Garza <bgarza netspeed com>]

There is an ISP in Dallas, Tx. whose services run soley on Linux
computers. I think the home page for this ISP has some information about
its configuration.
Anyway, there may be some interesting "start-up" information at:
http://www.netin.com
At the very least this site is an example of a pure linux ISP solution.
Cheers,
bgarza
