Installation
Requirements
To install Gate-and-Way you need:
- an Intel based PC.
At least a Pentium III, 128 Mb RAM, 5 Gb Hard Disk space
(for both Linux and the Gate-and-Way software) and a
network card (of course).
A lot of hardware manufacturers are supported by Linux.
Look at the Hardware Compatibility List coming with your
Linux distribution to know if your hardware is currently
supported.
We strongly suggest not to use a
production PC to evaluate Gate-and-Way. It is better to
use an empty hard disk, dedicated to serve the
Gate-and-Way tasks. Once you have fully evaluated it, you
can decide whether to install it on a production PC or
simply to format your hard disk.
- Red Hat Linux 7.2 / 7.3 / 8.0
and 9.0 has been fully tested.
Other Linux distributions may also work with
Gate-and-Way, but they have not been tested yet. If you
succeed in using Gate-and-Way over other Linux
distributions, let us know.
- If you want to manage faxes,
you need one or more External Serial Fax Modems.
- If you want to allow remote
users to access Gate-and-Way services, you need one
External Serial Modem.
- If you want to manage
incoming voice calls, you need one External Serial Voice
Modem.
- If you want to connect to the
Internet, you need one External Serial Modem and/or one
Ethernet ADSL modem (and an Internet Account with a ISP,
of course).
You can switch from one to the other without changing any
configuration into the client PCs.
