Re: [PLUG] dhcp and comcast
|
i have a mitel SME server as my firewall/router/gateway/web
server/email/server /etc. SME server uses RH7. It was very easy to configure
it, which was done through a simple interface. i don't know specifically what
it did or files it uses, but it does work. if you have a machine you can
dedicate to the task, SME server makes it very easy have email,web and
firewall services.
