There are two servers.  One for running the game that I have control over
and the second that runs the cgi-bin Perl script that Roger has control 
over.

The game server watchs an e-mail box (ftgm@xxxxxxxxxxxx) and handles mail
messages that it finds there, running games, responding to queries, and
sedning out turn results.

The sign up server maintains a list of games, scenario files, and 
constructs
a new game e-mail message and sends it to the mailbox.

FTJava does not have a dedicated web domain with PHP/MySQL support.  The
current pages are off of my Road Runner account, but that can change. 
A low end web plan can run about $5-7 per month.
