Apache 2.0 has the ability to support multiple protocols. There is a mod_pop3 module available that allows Apache to handle POP3 connections. It was mainly written as a proof-of-concept though. I do not believe that anyone has written an open-source FTP protocol engine for Apache 2.0, but I believe that Covalent has written one for their commercial product (correct me if I'm wrong). So, it is definitely possible with Apache 2.0. Personally, I'd like to see an open-source version that we could include in the ASF version. But, no one has had the inclination to write one just yet. -- justin
