yes, and in fact you can find many open source projects at www.google.com. the discussion here was supporting an ancient microsoft application on an openbsd web server which a few of us are unfortunate enough to have experience with frontpage server-side extensions basically gives you e-mail submission forms, counters, and basic discussion forums, obviously things that can be done any number of ways. it also gives you the ability to log into the server from any machine with frontpage and get the same management features, but most of this could be done the same way with newer software that doesn't require server-side "extensions" for the first 5 or 6 years after frontpage came out, it made things very easy for the average jane. providers that supported it consistently were rewarded with loyal customers who would pay for this convenience.
