What connection (bandwidth) are you planning to serve?
ADSL, T1/E1 or even higher?

FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE (or -STABLE) would work perfectly well.

Sure, either sendmail, which is already part of FreeBSD,
or any other mail server, like, e.g. /usr/ports/mail/postfix

If you plan to add SpamAssassin, _and_ you have to filter
a LOT of mails, things could slow down somewhat, but even
there, if you don't have many users, pc 166 would be enough,
I'd guess.

What do you mean with "many connections"? How many simultaneous
connections? Please give some numbers.

Would you serve mostly static HTML pages, or will the content
be highly dynamic (CGIs, mod_perl, java/tomcat...)?

Ask your ISP for a static IP. Most ISPs will agree to give you
static IPs for a slight surcharge (read: a few dollars or euros/month
extra). If you can't get a static IP, consider using a dynamic DNS
service, like e.g. http://www.dyndns.org/ with a DNS update client:
/usr/ports/net/ddclient.

What does FAI mean?
