What I need to know is: What software should I use on the 3.12 side ? What hardware should I buy for both sides ? (preferably external ISDN devices) Does it make sense to set up a FreeBSD box on the 3.12 side as well to handle routing/email etc .. ? The 3.12 side runs MS mail (I think), should I set up an SMTP daemon on the 3.12 machine, and kick sendmail on the FreeBSD side when a connection is established ? (it's a dial-up link) Or should I use UUCP ? (over TCP/IP when the connection is established) Is this setup possible with FreeBSD on the one side, or should I use an NT server (or something) as some kind of ISDN terminal server ?
