Yes, very -- two weeks ago I set up just a system for my girlfriend's
non-profit organization: IP masquerading for 10.x network, diald for
access to the Internet, samba for filesharing, as well as misc apps inc
StarOffice which allowed it to be used as a workstation as well.
The web administration sounds useful -- at the moment I fix things if they
go wrong by ringing the machine's line 4 times, xringd brings up the
Internet link, irquery registers the IP with DDNS.org and then I ssh in to
see what's up.

see above -- saved them thousands vs. comparable nt 'solution' which was
their alternative.
