We are in the process of becoming an ISP. We will also be doing WWW design and 
publishing. Starting out with a Sprint T1.

For cost reasons we would like to use FreeBSD on a 
486DX2-66MHz,32MB,2GB,EISA.This will be a dedicated server for DNS, FTP and 
Mail only.

-       Can that be done with the configuration shown above ?
-       Performance, any concerns ?
-       Any configuration hints ?
-       Does anybody have a similar configuration and what is your experience.
-       Any other suggestions ? (Linux .... )

Thank you in advance !
