BTW, just as an aside, for those who are comfortable
with a shell prompt and the tools that go with it (trn,
inews, cron, etc.), I do run Nyx.Net which is pretty
frill-free, but it *is* free (and no banners, popup
windows, or anything else of similar ilk on users'
webpages). I don't know if anyone has set up any
scripts or other software on Nyx to make FAQ
posting and maintenance easier, but that sort of
thing should be easy enough to do.
