   I wouldn't get too despondant, Skip.  With so many JNOS boxes out there
just chugging along nicely, it's no wonder that folks don't need to look
things up very often.  Heck, I help maintain a dozen boxes and I can't say
as I've needed to look anything up in several months!

   Does the Wiki require WinBlows?  If so, you *know* I won't touch it!!  

   Is it a simple HTML website, or does it require an SQL database?  
Special JAVA or Perl or other CGI software?

   If it's pretty straight forward I could probably host it here.  But if 
it means a bunch of changes to my already running and already producing 
$INCOME machines, than I probably would shy away from it.

   Please do tell... maybe we can work something out and find it a home.
