Yup, the machine in the main office is a Debian box. The machines in the
remote offices will be Debian boxes too. I wouldn't use any other OS
that is not Linux (Debian); it has proven to be rock stable and when
talking about connectivity, imagination is the limit.
I am thinking about having the main server at the main office calling
the remote sites every one or two hours. When the connection is made,
e-mail and other files are going to be transferred.
I am also thinking this is a job for the old UUCP.
