But the problem has always been the equivalent of what mvInternet does. That is, connect Apache to Universe. So you have another idea of how to connect Apache (or really any other page server) to Universe? I don't understand what "open port 80" means or whether this actually allows Apache to talk directly to Universe or whatever.

One way is by CGI-scripts:
In cgi-bin ( or whatever Your Apache stores them see Apache config )
place a shell script like:
( the echo $form and the | tee log.answer is only for debugging ) And you may want to concatenate some environment variables from apache like $REMOTE_HOST to the form.
my.para should start a program that interpretes the forms content ( wich it will find in @COMMAND ) and call the application routines. Whatever is printed to std output from within these will be forwarded to the browser.
The format of $form above is variable1=value1&variable2=value2&...
where the values have a few characters encoded as %xx (ascii hexadecimal)
e.g. space, equals, ampersand.
The html form must be type 'POST' and have an action='myscript' in the form tag
refering to the shell script in cgi-bin.
Now there are only some minor details left as figuring out how to preserve session level data and setting up rules for translating form fields to u2 actions and ... writing the application :^ )
We have used this approach on netscape and apache http-servers.
