Yes, you can do that with Linux with no problem. My background is in Sun, but as far as home computing goes, Linux is much better, mostly because of cost. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have an Ultra 10 for my desktop, but software, etc is expensive in most cases. With Linux, you can find almost anything you need and it is usually free. I have never paid for any Linux software to date. There is definitely a lot of configuration involved in setting up an ISP, but I think you will find Linux to be cheaper and probably function better then x86 Sun.

gsignal
GSIGNAL(3) Linux Programmer's Manual GSIGNAL(3)
NAME
gsignal, ssignal - software signal facility
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
typedef void (*sighandler_t)(int);
int gsignal(signum);
sighandler_t ssignal(int signum, sighandler_t action);
DESCRIPTION
Don't use these functions under Linux. Due to a historical mistake, under Linux these functions are aliases for raise() and signal(),
respectively.
Elsewhere, on SYSV-like systems, these functions implement software signalling, entirely independent of the classical signal and kill func-
tions. The function ssignal() defines the action to take when the software signal with number signum is raised using the function gsig-
nal(), and returns the previous such action or SIG_DFL. The function gsignal() does the following: if no action (or the action SIG_DFL)
was specified for signum, then it does nothing and returns 0. If the action SIG_IGN was specified for signum, then it does nothing and
returns 1. Otherwise, it resets the action to SIG_DFL and calls the action function with parameter signum, and returns the value returned
by that function. The range of possible values signum varies (often 1-15 or 1-17).
CONFORMING TO
SVID2, XPG2. These functions are available under AIX, DG-UX, HPUX, SCO, Solaris, Tru64. They are called obsolete under most of these sys-
tems, and are broken under Linux libc and glibc. Some systems also have gsignal_r() and ssignal_r().
