Having a few semi commercial ISP's using STN sure wouldn't hurt. er uh John??? How difficult would it be to add the possibility of another whole disk setup as a Dial in PPP server???(hint,hint:)) After all STN IS LINUX:) As of this time I provide "free internet access" to a friends kids....and STN with some advanced configuration options performs flawlessy acting as a router.....while I built my own PPP server also using linux. Offering a complete connectivity package along with "tech support" would do MUCH to enhance the marketability of STN while providing tech support would enhance what companies fear most about "other free" O/S's.......... responsibility and accountability. Sorry for the rant:) But opinions were asked for winsor BTW: You need a tech support guy in the midwestern US???*LoL* Mark Haas wrote: > > > 3) Advertising. I'm looking for ways to get the word out.
