Less so, if you are a UN*X newbie. I use the Apache Web Server, which is free software, as is Linux. The configuration isn't difficult. The most difficult part is to connect a dynamic link on a Web page to point to the proper IP address when you dial up. This could be accomplished in Perl, something I have yet to do. Right now, I just run a short script which updates the IP address on the local copy of my HTML. Then, I just FTP it to my Net One site. Currently, I am only putting up my Server in the evenings. When I get full time connection to the Net, I will be up all the time. If you need explicit instructions we can take this off the mailing list. Arne
