Pardon the off-topic post: where would I look for this subject on the Web? In other words, at the point that I want to get a domain name registered for a non-commercial function (presumably a .org), are there any prerequisites I should be aware of? Two name servers and someone willing to route a class C address I pretty much know about already, having already crowbarred my present company on the Internet (and a branch office to follow). The rules for .com, .net, and so on seem pretty clear-cut, but all "Zen and the Art of the Internet" seems to say on .org is: org This is a domain reserved for private organizations, who don't comfortably fit in the other classes of domains. One example is the Electronic Frontier Foundation named eff.org. Such as being registered as non-profit with somebody, showing a membership, etc. Or is it as simple as picking a unique "something.org" (and the ISP, registration/maintenance fees) because I want a domain name of my own (which I'd prefer)? The day will certainly come when I'm not at this wonderful company, and I'd rather not be a shell account on someone else's system, except as a temporary evil. thanks for any info, larry
