I'll see what I can do but it's only in the lab at present. I'm not sure a public address would be any help as it relies on all your web traffic being transparently proxied through the MT. Once a pre-defined timer expires the MT would then send a pop-up to the end users when they next request (at least I think that's the theory). It should also block all traffic until the end user has seen the advert so I'm wondering if this would have problems with users running pop-up blockers. John?

I would really like to see the ad feature running and I am having trouble visualizing exactly what it is doing. Many thanks, Scriv Paul Hendry wrote: >Aha, now I see it.
