Hi bunch of geniuses !
I'm quiet desperate and I guess I need some basic things to be explained to me.
I'm kinda new to system management and especially to every *nix and *nux.
Here's the question.
I've got several clients (NT, W95, W98) and one great Nt server.
And recently, .. one Linux box.
Mail comes in by ISP.
Every client has its own modem to connect to the ISP and so to his mailbox.
Now here is the idea.
I would like to connect to the ISP with the Linuxbox (as you guessed, quiet new,
RH5.1), and installed thanks to you all. This way, I would like to get the mailboxes
on this Linux-server on my net, so the clients can read mail without have to connect
individual to the ISP. This will reduce telephone and modem cost, the servers
downloads the mail , let's say 4 times a day, and the clients read there mail localy
by connecting to the postoffice on the Linuxbox. In the future I would like to set up
the box with Netscape, so they can surf this way. At that time I would like to
connect the box to the ISP using an ISDN-line.
So, thats the idea, and it sounds great to me.
Just one question, HOW ?
Is there somewhere a FAQ or a site that explaines the basics and the practical things
about this ?
Do I have to talk with my ISP about that, undoubtly, but what is it that I really need
from him ?
Or, better, can someone of you all help me out here ?
Many, many thanks in advance !
PS: sorry for my bad English !
