Hmmmm ... I have much experience with IIS3 ... IT SUCKS ... the ONLY thing that it does good is take up space ... a lot of space. Once you install it, IIS will actually modify the OS to supposedly operate better. BAH ... I personally use Apache with (...) (26 years ago, 31-Dec-98, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

You can. But I really don't recommend it, nor does the Apache group. I run it on NT as a service, and occasionally, on my Win98 machine at home. Once you get a feel for it, it's quite nice. WarFTP brings me back to the days of BBS'es since the guy (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

If you can afford it, try to get xDSL. The main reason for this, is that it's 'more dedicated' than a cable modem. With a cable modem, you have many others on the same line at any given time. I believe that a cable company normally runs a 30MegaBit (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) I saw you bash IIS3 earlier.

(...) Well ... _I_ don't like IIS (3 or 4) because they take up a lot of space and have a lot of overhead that in my situation is unnecessary.

(...) It's quite nice. All you need to do, is have a hub, hook the xDSL modem into the hub, and you have all the access you want. We currently have 5 computers on our system, with only 1 xDSL connection. (our ISP dynamically allocates IP's for (...) (26 years ago, 1-Jan-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
