I don't offer to host it myself, since I don't have any good computer to dedicate nor did I have a commercial connection to the internet. What I offer is to implement this kind of server (just in case) if I have any hope that it would be used as an alternative. Maybe peopele here would prefer web based forum like what Andrei (an other) proposed. This is what I want to know. Mathieu Pagé
