Installfest user seeking paid help

[bhorne at banet.net (Bill Horne)]

TWIMC,

A user whom we helped at the installfest has asked me to post a 
request for help.  She wants a Linux box to interface with her 
(soon to be installed) IDSL connection, but has decided that she 
doesn't have time to do it herself.

N.B.: the user wants a turnkey solution, and will pay for it.

She wants to hire someone to configure a 486 DX-2 which is now 
running RH 6.0 for these services:

1. Firewall for IDSL Internet connection
2. Apache Web Server
3. Samba server
4. Gnome workstation
5. Perl and/or PHP development platform for web applications.

The user wants Apache to "demo" her web design work, not for 
production use, but it's still a close call: this is an ISA-ONLY 
box, with a non-Y2K BIOS, and may be underpowered for the mix of 
applications.

The existing Ethernet card on the machine is a DLINK DE-220 ISA 
PnP, which is supposed to be an NE2000 clone, but I couldn't get 
the Linux NE2000 driver to talk to it in the time I was willing 
to spend.  She'll need an Ethernet connection for her internal 
LAN, and another card for the IDSL CSU.

I don't know if the IDSL provider will be using PPPOE, DHCP, or 
something else to connect.  The user may want you to handle 
details of sendmail & fetchmail setup as well.

Those interested may call or email me for details.
