Hi Dave:
Sorry to hear about your problems...
I have followed that cost is an issue and you're getting a break with
this ISP. However, if your ISP is not willing to make those changes
for you - perhaps you should look for someone else - perhaps a domain
hoster.
For someone just starting out - 24.95 american $ a month can be a bit steep.
Maybe there are others of like mind with whom you can 'share' a domain with
to cut your costs.
cniweb.net is my domain hoster. You would not have had these problems with
Corey. But he is a bit spendy, thus a consideration to some sharing of
resources.
BTW: I've run rebol CGIs with '.r' extensions reliably on windows boxes
with IIS and PWS. It would just mean that the ".cgi" entry in the
registry would be replaced with entry title ".r".
