-All of mine did (with some minor tweaking).  In the archives and knowledge
base it tells you how to disable and/or remove cgi-wrapper.  Always make
sure that the scripts are uploaded by the site owner, not admin. And some
scripts have to have the following location of perl " #!/usr/bin/perl --"
(the 2 dashes should be there).

-You just have to read the archives to fix the error.

-That is not true, I have my scripts writing to the dir that contains the
script.

-You MUST have "Web Access by Domain" and "Email Access by Domain" checked
and have the proper DNS entries pointing to the right IP.

-Install "Pop before Relay" from the cobalt ftp site.

-RaQ3's are a beautiful piece of hardware.  Just make sure that you don't
break the GUI.
