Rex does have some documentation on u2pipe, but, I have not looked at it in a while.
I could write up the php/apache stuff pretty easy and make it nooby proof, BUT, I haven't done that because it was not my idea, and I don't want to "illegally" step on Kevin. However, I did write up complete instructions on how to install Apache on AIX 5.3 if anyone needs that. I have to write things down because my limited brain power often forgets.
