Even after reading that, which does help, I am still not enlightened enough 
to be able to setup that basic09 web server, so that (and I'd have to setup 
a NAT rule in my router too) someone could send their browser to my web 
page, but change the port number to say 6309, and actually be accessing the 
coco.  I can take care of the NATing and routing, but how would DW be 
setup, and inetd on the coco be configured to accomplish this?
 
I'd also need to grab a copy of that basic09 web server, where is that 
downloadable?  Or do I already have it as part of the DW install? I am not 
seeing anything like it that I recognize, which I assume is something like 
httpd.b09. This lists corpus should contain that info, but searching the 
last 11 years of it comes up empty.  And I do not see it in the 
3rdparty/packages/basic09 tree of my repo either.  I think its safe to say 
that unless its on my web pages, I don't have it.  And its not visible 
there.
