I found a page ad for BSDI Internet Server in the current Programmer's Shop brochure. I called them because it leaves some questions open, but the salesrep couldn't help me either. So maybe some of you have some answers and can spare the time to type them in. Or you simply know whom to call. Thanks in Advance! 1. I was told there're two configs: $470 for 1-4 users and $870 or so for 1-16 users. What's the "users" counted against? concurrent Telnet/logins? FTP users? WWW connections? Serial logins? 2. Is the underlying BSDI OS complete=all sorts of shell, c compiler, xlib and some graphics environment, graphic text editor etc? 3. The ad says "Link directly to 56k or T1". A friend of mine would/could use the system if it supports [European] ISDN with both channels at 64k. Any experience with ISDN, US or otherwise? 4. General idea about a good setup - like a P75/90, 16+ MB memory, ATI card or whatever? Does it perform nice and smooth with 16MB or does it need more - aside from the fact that no unix system can't ever have enough memory. Anyway, thanks for you help. With kind Regards Philipp Ott BTW: The ad says "Infoworld 1/30/95" Does anybody have the issue around and can give me a short glimpse of what they compared? I tried the local newspaper shop but had no luck. philipp@gscorp.com [MiME/NeXTMail] philipp@beagle.co.at [MIME] philipp_ott@msn.com [well, MSN] 415 945 7007 Fax
