Thanks Gio! Let me make sure I understand "virtual server". Since I don't 
have my own domain, then AOL is my virtual server at the moment? And 
re:Telenet, it seems that anyone with a modem and a way to FTP can Telenet?

Just fyi, AOL does allow passwords BUT you have to use their own generator to 
give you the password you can use. They also tell you you can put what you 
want to protect into a "private" subdirectory with a wild name that no one 
would guess and only tell those who need to know.....lol.

Thanks again!
