  Amnesty International is using OpenBSD for network firewalls and for
  Virtual Private Networks (IPSec) between its sections around the world.<p>

+ ENEP Iztacala is one of <A HREF="http://www.unam.mx">UNAM</A>'s peripheral
+ schools. UNAM is Mexico's largest University, with over 250,000 students,
+ and at ENEP Iztacala we have a bit over 10,000 students. This is mostly
+ a health-oriented campus, so the computer area is not a big one.
+ <br>
+ We run as servers currently two OpenBSD, one Solaris and two Linux boxes.
+ With OpenBSD we handle the main web site (happily running on a 7-year old
+ Sparcstation 5), part of our mail accounts and our firewall.
+ <br>
+ There are two aditional OpenBSD computers, in our development area. One of
+ them acts as a network monitor (using Snort) and will shortly be moved to
+ sit next to the firewall, and the other one serves as an OpenBSD CVS
+ mirror (<strong>CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.mx.openbsd.org:/cvs</strong>).
+ <br>
+ We do not do run very creative stuff, we just use OpenBSD for what it does
+ best: run smoothly, even on older hardware, freeing us from most concerns
+ and doubts we have about our other operating systems.
+ <br>
+ We also host a Spanish OpenBSD mailing list (openbsd@tlali.iztacala.unam.mx).

  <li><u>Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, Czech Republic</u><br>
  The university uses OpenBSD on PCs to provide WWW, mail and shell access to
  staff and students, and on a SPARC IPX for a time server and secondary DNS.
