You install a program on your computer, which sends your IP to them, and they will link the name *.d2g.com with your IP. You can select a redirection if you are offline. So, we all can host a mailing list. There are people in different time zones, so I hope any time is at least one of our computers up. If there would more then one puter up, traffic can be distributed between them. Something like Gnutella. Crazy idea ? :) Regards, Martin Stachon
