Michael, Congratulations on both your more lucrative occupation (webhosting) and decision to make Arachne into open-source project. We certainly can't blame you for favoring something that makes more money than Arachne. I've been saying for some time that for Arachne to be viable, it needs the efforts of the open-source community, and I might say that about Net-Tamer too. David Colston of Net-Tamer, are you reading this? Arachne could be developed not only for DOS but for Linux and other open-source Unixes too. DOS Internet community is not so strong that they can afford to be isolated and compete against each other. They need to be united. There is plenty of stronger competition from Linux and Mac, not to mention MS-Windows. Anybody know what's happening with Net-Tamer? I haven't browsed the URL since many months ago http://www.nettamer.net/tamer.html
