If not then what? If you don't have your WWW server set up yet, you can send me the document(s) containing the information that was in your message in HTML, and I will put them on my server until yours is ready. I will put an entry for you in the WWWVL Engineering and the WWWVL Electrical Engineering, and link to the documents on my server that you send to me in HTML. Then, when you have your own WWW server set up, I will change the links to point to your machine instead of mine and remove your docs from my disk. I would suggest you create your initial docs without any images, since you will only have a 14.4K connection. You probably want at least 56K for a commercial node with images. You may eventually have to go to a T1 or better, depending on the level of interest. Anyway, that's all up to you -- I just provide the link. Mind you, this is a "volunteer" service at present. I am sure the big commercial guys will get their acts together soon and there will be more places to advertise! Even then, I expect (hope!) the WWWVL will continue to exist as a free resource, but it will probably be at a higher level, pointing to an intermediate level of "value-added information providers" and other such beasts. On the other hand, you may not even need to advertise if some of the value-added providers start indexing things on WWW -- perhaps _they_ will come to _you_! --Steve. oo _\o \/\ \ / ____________________________________________ oo _________________ "Sometimes you're the windshield; sometimes you're the bug." - Knopfler Stephen C.
