Web services applications like Apache and Sendmail, and client applications like browsers, email clients and newsreaders, all follow the same sets of rules (referred to as protocols), like HTTP (for web browsers), SMTP, POP3, IMAP, (email) and NNTP (newsgroups)... so the operating systems the various machines are using, make no difference. I am typing this on a Linux Red Hat machine, and when I am finished, I will post it to my mailserver up in my attic workshop, which is running OpenBSD 3.9, and it will send it to Yahoo!, which I think is running FreeBSD, which will distribute it to everyone on this list... Windows, DOS, Linux, UNIX, BSD, OS/2, BeOS, whatever they happen to be using. Check out: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/ ...for more information on Web Standards and Guidelines. Also worth reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite ...and the various individual Protocol pages listed on the right hand side of this Wikipedia page. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
