yes, the name is missleading but webjump service  it is just as you
describe hypermart. This two services have  one advantage (besides the easy
URL -easy to remember, hard to get-), they accept use of CGI

yes, front page is very problematic. many beginners are not aware of its
"special features" like the bots that need a special server capability many
times they lack.

Neither Binky nor KFS (or better say WEBE) can get the page. These are the
servers I use due to they are fast. I will try www4mail

This page is basically just a

Appart from "decoration" the only reasons I read about for the use of   a
splash page are some promotion or search engine position techniques - which
I do not think is the case with this URL- and language and browser choices.

P.S.: both <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
failed to get the page.
Which getweb did you use Alan?.

Thanks
