You mentioned binkp in a previous message, right?  I assume your system is
connected 24/7 to the internet.
And I believe you wanted to eventually put all the files up for freq.

Would you be able to, or have any desire to, run an FTP server?  to allow
the files to be d/l'd?
I'm free wheeling and dreaming here...  so if the answer is no,  np....

All this is very interesting and encouraging.  Perhaps some others will
have ideas to share here too.
