IV. Network Communication

FreeBSD is one of the most widely deployed operating systems for high performance network servers. The chapters in this part cover:

• Serial communication

• PPP and PPP over Ethernet

• Electronic Mail

• Running Network Servers

• Firewalls

• Other Advanced Networking Topics

These chapters are designed to be read when you need the information. You do not have to read them in any particular order, nor do you need to read all of them before you can begin using FreeBSD in a network environment.
