yes it does - and yes you can - its just a blob of data - the server doesn't
care any more than it does with a MPEG or JPG. You might have to add a mime
type for it tho.

You can't, AFAIK, _run_ an ActiveX on a Linux box (VMWare and Wine not
withstanding), or in Netscape under Linux (or under Windows for that
matter - might have changed, but I dont use netscape unless I can avoid it).
Serving it up should work just fine tho.

I got the wrong end of the stick, by the looks of it. :)
