DM: Re: AltaVista Forum

[Dorothy Firsching]

I would like to continue this discussion offline of the list, so 
please
mail me personally:  nautilus-info@nautilus-systems.com.  Could you (or 
anyone
else on the list) point me towards any ISPs or private firms hosting
AltaVista Forum, or otherwise having experience hosting it?  Thanks!
/Dorothy
