>> Just kidding. But this is where virtual communities are headed. My server, my box, my web site. << It would be nice if somebody could put all the packages together. A one stop Community Builder package. I would want - email support (including wireless) - web development tools - Audio/Video server - Bulletin/Message board support. Something like "Ultimate Bulletin Board". If you haven't seen an example goto www.corvetteforum.com. Allows posters to post JPEG files. - Chat - IRC - ECommerce, i.e. be able to securely sell products. Maybe somebody has put it all together and I just don't know about it. If I was Novell I would keep ICS, EDirectory, dump everything else and do above. Jimmy

When you get the hardware to do this, let me know - I wouldn't mind setting up something for you that has a built-in webserver, newsgroups, multimedia streaming, an LDAP compliant Directory, file sharing (FTP) and more.... Oh yeah..that's NetWare 5.1 - You've seen Novell's Internet Messaging Server right? You can check out www.myrealbox.com for a live version of it. It's not bad. Then maybe Scott could help with the Peer-to-Peer stuff you want to do. I hear he has some interesting stuff working at home....but he's rather keeping that to him self right now ;) Regards, Peter J Strifas
