Here is what I am needing... I've just opened up some office space and have a dedicated internet connection that will be running a ftp server, voicemail (using a rockwell chipset), www server, a BBS, and receiving faxes. I need to know whether Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OS/2 would be the best OS for these tasks. So far OS/2 is leaning towards the office standard for the reason I know where the FAX and voicemail software is. If advocates of each of the other UNIX like OS's could give me a list of applications that could serve the purpose that OS/2 can do for a office environment, I'm willing to switch. I'm not saying OS/2 is better, just that I am familiar with it, and have a current setup using CONNECT that does the affore mentioned.
