Doing some research on the net lead me to a similar request with out a
solution that I could find. It describes pretty much what I need as
well.<br>
Thanks<br>

p.s. I'm not sure about the mail server though. It will be multiple email
accounts.<br>
It must be able to provide:
<ul>
<li>Mail (IMAP server, and either fetchmail or SMTP client)
<li>IP Masq
<li>DNS caching and server
<li>DHCP server
<li>Dialup to Optusnet
<li>HTTP server to local network to allow users to raise/lower the
connection > and shut the machine down via the web, with password
protection.

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>I am looking at setting up a LAN
gateway and mail server. I was think of using Debian or a Gateway
specific distro. The Internet connection is going to be a dialup
connection.<br>
The things that it will need are:
<ul>
<li>Mail server with POP3 access and Web mail access with folder support
and keeping copys of outgoing messages
<li>Gateway for dialup connect that users have control of. i.e. they can
dial out and disconnect on will, preferably through a web interface.
<li>Firewall
</ul>The majority of the computers that will be using it are Windows and
some will need the POP3 access and others the web mail.<br>
Also the Internet connection must only be dialed when it is instructed to
by a user.<br>
It will need to have a SMTP server on it that will receive the message
from the computers using POP3 access and then send the messages when it
is connected to the Internet<br>
Any suggestions as to the Distro, webmail, and other scripts and
interfaces would be appreciated<br>
Thanks<br>
