Provincial stations can also send info back to us as well. - - - < s n i p > - - - I remember my friend Spike who was formerly connected with the health sector of DOST (I just forgot the name of their office), he showed to me their project that was intended to give information especially for the rural areas thru the web or offline (CDROM). They proposed at least 1 computer for every barangay so that they could dessiminate information to the people. If the barangay doesn't have a telephone line in order for them to access the site, CD-ROMs are available. If I still remember correctly, their servers run on (mostly) Red Hat Linux and some Sun Solaris, PostgreSQL as their RDBMS, PHP and Java. --- Marvin T.
