----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-2117009139_-_- Content-type: text/plain Folks, This is just a query about offering Software as a Service (SaaS) using BlackBox. I am uncertain how to do that. Searching the web I find a hosting service called iPage that looks interesting but only list PERL as the software provided. I would assume (and hope) that any hosting service provider would offer a Microsoft server on an Intel box so that BlackBox could run without modification. Are any of you out there currently do that? If so then to offer SaaS would entail coupling BlackBox to the web (using, I assume, the module Comm) so that one's browser would be talking to an application running BlackBox on the hosting server. Has anyone done this? Are the Subsystems Web and Dbu (on CPC) sufficient to do this or is more needed? -Doug Danforth ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy
