Hello Everybody,

I am planning to use Sify broadband service for a small office. The office
is having 5 PCs in a LAN. I am planning to install a Linux box (RH 8.0) with
two LAN cards. This box will have ipchains for NAT, SQUID for proxy, apache
for Intranet, sendmail for local mailing and getmail for fetching mails from
a mail server located in the Internet. As you are an experienced user of
Sify with Linux, please let me know if you find any problems that I might
face in the above endeavor. I have installed and configured all the
components (e.g. SQUID etc.) individually at different scenarios but not the
entire thing in an integrated fashion.



Yes, You can use it without any problem, You need a straight cable (IIRC) to connect broadband line to your eth0 and eth1 to your switch directly.
Rest of the nating/squid/ whatever can be run without any problem.


I am using Sify broadband 512kbps on Linux box itself. BTW why you are using RH8.0 ? I am using Redhat 9 which is also very old now.
Fedora core 2 is ready...try it..


If you need further any assistance mail me of the list.

Regards,
Yash


The Sify people here are not confident if their service will work under
Linux. They are apprehensive about the log-in process that is needed in
their system. As I have not seen their system at all, I am becoming a bit
worried.

With regards,

Goutam
