internetworking: remove the page

Browse source 
This page is not salvageable without rewriting it:
	- referring to the 4.4 BSD stack as a 'reference'
	- the newest FreeBSD version is 7.0 including (broken)
	  SCTP support
	- using outdated terms like "world wide web"
	- support for 'Appletalk' and Novell client/server networking
	  are no longer the makings of a 'true intranet solution'
	- running a usenet server is not the goal of most users anymore
	- dial-on-demand PPP is not the prime of internet connectivity
	- ftp.cdrom.com has not existed in a long time (and 30TB/mo
	  isn't very high nowadays)
	- yahoo runs "ultimate index of the Internet"...
	- the only testimonial was written in 1996
	- and more :\

	If such a page should exist, the content needs to be written.

<h2>FreeBSD was designed for the Internet</h2>
<p>FreeBSD includes what many consider the <i>reference</i>
implementation for TCP/IP software, the 4.4 BSD TCP/IP protocol stack,
thereby making it ideal for network applications and the Internet.
FreeBSD 7.0 also includes the reference implementation of SCTP, thus
making it an ideal platform for telephony and other data streaming
applications.</p>
<h2>FreeBSD supports all standard TCP/IP protocols.</h2>
<p>Like most &unix; systems, the FreeBSD operating system enables you
to</p>
<ul>
<li>Serve static and dynamic web content over HTTP</li>
<li>Share filesystems with NFS</li>
<li>Distribute network information with NIS</li>
<li>Handle and provide email services over SMTP, IMAP and POP3</li>
<li>Support remote logins over SSH and rsh</li>
<li>Do remote SNMP configuration and management</li>
<li>Serve files with FTP</li>
<li>Resolve Internet hostnames with DNS/BIND</li>
<li>Route packets between multiple interfaces, including PPP and SLIP
lines</li>
<li>Use IP Multicast services (the MBONE)</li>
<li>Provide services over IPv6</li>
</ul>
<p>FreeBSD lets you to turn a PC&nbsp;into a World Wide Web server,
mail server or an
Usenet news relay with included software. Using the included SAMBA
software you can even share filesystems or printers with your Microsoft&reg;
Windows&reg; machines and, with the supplied PCNFS authentication daemon,
you can support machines running PC/NFS. FreeBSD also supports
Appletalk and Novell client/server networking (using an optional
commercial software package), making it a true "Intranet" networking
solution.</p>
<p>FreeBSD also handles TCP extensions like the <a
href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1323.txt">RFC-1323</a>
high performance extension, plus SLIP and dial-on-demand PPP. It is
an operating system suitable for a home-based net surfer as well as a
corporate systems administrator.</p>
<h2>FreeBSD's networking is stable and
fast.</h2>
<p>If you need an Internet server platform that is reliable and offers
the best performance under heavy load, then consider FreeBSD. Here
are just a few of the companies that make use of FreeBSD every
day:</p>
<ul>
<li>Walnut Creek CDROM ran one of the most popular FTP servers
on the Internet, ftp.cdrom.com, exclusively on FreeBSD for
many years. It was a single FreeBSD machine supporting 6000
connections, and capable of transferring more than 30
terabytes (as of June, 1999; yes that is <i>terabytes</i>!)
worth of files every month to more than 10 million
people.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Inc.</a> runs the ultimate
index of the Internet, serving scads of daily net surfers with
information about the World Wide Web. Yahoo, as well as the companies
that advertise on Yahoo, rely on FreeBSD to run reliable and
responsive web servers.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.netcraft.com/">Netcraft</a> is the leading
researcher of web server software usage on the Internet. They use
FreeBSD and Apache to power their website, and FreeBSD/Perl for
all their Internet data collection.
</li>
</ul>
<p>FreeBSD makes an ideal platform for these and other Internet
services:</p>
<ul>
<li>Company-wide or world-wide WWW service</li>
<li>Proxy WWW service</li>
<li>Anonymous FTP&nbsp;service</li>
<li>Enterprise file, print and mail services</li>
<li>Routers, firewalls and intrusion detection systems</li>
</ul>
<p>The FreeBSD <a href="&base;/ports/index.html">ports collection</a>
contains ready-to-run software that makes it easy to set up your own
Internet server.</p>
<h2>High performance <em>and</em>
security.</h2>
<p>The FreeBSD developers are as concerned about security as they
are about performance. FreeBSD includes kernel support for
IP&nbsp;firewalling, as well other services, such as IP proxy
gateways. If you put your corporate servers on the Internet, any
computer running FreeBSD can act as a network firewall to
protect them from outside attack.</p>
<p>Encryption software, secure shells, Kerberos, end-to-end encryption
and secure RPC facilities are also available.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the FreeBSD team is proactive in detecting and
disseminating security information and bug reports with a <a
href="mailto:security-officer@FreeBSD.org">security officer</a> and
ties to the Computer Emergency Response Team (<a
href="http://www.cert.org/">CERT</a>).</p>
<h2>What experts have to say...</h2>
<p><i>``FreeBSD ... provides what is probably the most robust and capable
TCP/IP stack in existence ...''</i></p>
