Yes, that's essentially what I had in mind... I'm more interested in
hosting forums on the A2 than file transfers (which I'm guessing would
be a little more complicated), and maybe some text games.
I'll not likely use java since it's problematic or non-existent with
older browsers, so I was thinking to use perl cgi running on the Mac.
It'll be a learning experience (hopefully).
