[olug] Cox and Web Servers

Tue Oct 8 20:42:50 UTC 2002

I run on an off port and have used this html frame to redirect to my page.  
<HTML>
<frameset cols="100%" border="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="0">
    <frame src="http://hostname:port/">
</frameset>
</HTML>

Than I post this as index.html on some public html server like members.cox.net.
