Hi Alan,

If we would do so, we would have to charge for it (we are two students offering Web Space)

The charge would be 20.-DM (German DM) a month or 15.-DM a month if you need teh space for
3 month or more. 15.- DM is about 11 Dollars or so....

Sorry we cant offer this for free, bur we cannot afford..


Bye
Olaf
