“Electronic mail is a strange beast. In the past few years, I’ve
set up a number of electronic mail and Internet gateways. Some of
my customers are smaller companies with a few employees and no
desire to pay huge amounts of money for a 24×7 ISDN or DSL
connection. They want to try out the Internet and email, and see
how it fits into their corporate model without investing in a lot
of hardware and software.”
“For companies such as these, Linux is made to order. Out of
the box, your favorite Linux distribution comes with everything
necessary to set up a complete Internet/intranet solution —
from email to Web servers and even firewalls. Best of all, in the
spirit of Linux and open source, all the software is
free!“
