Hi John
I have read some of your pages already :) and found them very interesting.
I think you have a reasonably acurate view of the future of the Net, but I do
think that it will take a long time for that sort of evolution to take place.
You cant just remove a way of life for a percentage of the users of the Net,
all you can do is make your additions so good that they slowly over time
superseed older ways. The Net is a very big place and nothing changes fast.
You sugest that telnet is already historic, but Im sure that you will find the
telnet facility onto your own website very usefull ;)
The ftp://brain.eu.org will infact work, but this is only because the FTP server
and the WWW server are actualy running on the same phisical machine. If a site
gets millions of hits then the load on both WWW server and FTP server can
become to much for the host machine. When this happens you can either buy a
bigger/faster machine or split the load over two machines (which is far more
cost efective :).
I will set both servers up as brain.eu.org as soon as the domain is pointed
towards us.
BTW did you know that you can check with eu.org by using thier whois server
(whois.eu.org)
Cheers, Steve.
