Re: [Lynx-dev] ot: slightly web host ideas?

[Karen Lewellen]

I am unsure I understand this idea.
 lets use shellworld as I would  want to work where I already know access 
on a  high port functions.
I would have a user name and hostname listening on this higher port, but 
that actually  forwards me to my domain shell account hosted on dreamhost?
where is the configuring  actually done, is this like a proxy?
