[cobalt-users] FP 2002 ISP Advice

[David Grove <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

I think I have an ISP feeding me a load of hooey. We have a colo, renting a 
(I believe) RaQ4. It's loaded with FrontPage user extensions for FP 2000. 
I've built the company's websites with FP 2002 (XP), because it's easier for 
the boss to get in and hack around.

The tech at the ISP (or whatever it is) says that it's difficult to 
impossible, or at a minimum an extremely lengthy and costly process to 
upgrade to the newer FP 2002 server extensions so that the websites can work 
as/is without a rewrite of most of it.

Simple question 1: Am I being led down a loopity loopy horse manure path?

Simple question 2: Is installing these things difficult?

Simple question 3: Are they available for this system?

Simple (rhetorical) question 4: Do I need a lawyer and a new ISP? I think 
we've dropped over a grand just getting up a partially functional webserver, 
mailserver, and I'm not sure if the FTP server's been touched yet...

Please just give me generalities because I'm totally new to the RaQ systems 
and FPSE/Linux, though not new to Linux itself.

Dave
