By getting along w/ two people I assume you mean multiple connections at
once? That wont be an issue, this is just for her, I keep a terminal open

blocking external connections from bringing the link down? Ive played w/
apache, but never done anything indepth with it, is cgi hard to setup?
Thanks for your help
