Here's an interesting example of a distributed vfp web application
http://members.cox.net/claude.fox/ . The vfp engine is running at my site locally, but, the actual web Poll is being hosted at Cox's servers somewhere. The code residing at the ISP (Cox Cable in this case) is just a few lines of JavaScript that can be run on any Web Server and any OS - for example Apache, Linux, etc. Here's the code that resides on the HTML page at the ISP:

<script language="Javascript">
  var xyz = " "
  var now = new Date()
</script>
<script src="http://68.100.8.2:8080/aspvote/aspvote2.asp?Poll=9&' +  now.gettime() + '">
</script>
<script language="Javascript">
  document.write(xyz)
</script>

Feel free to try this on your own web page wherever it is hosted. If anybody is interested, I can set up some more polls tailored to your interests...
