Re: PHYS-L Needs New Owner and New Home!!

.....it doesn't have to be an either/or situation.  The expensive listserv
program (listserv, not mailserv etc) now has web HOOKS -- this means that
it can be read EITHER way, archives can be accessed EITHER way and 
subscribing/unsubscribing/etc can also be done EITHER way -- via web pages
or via email.  A change to the right SW could be transparent, or at least
as transparent as mving from uwf to somewheres else.

The problem is these fancy features have to be paid for -- listserv is no
longer free.  Does anyone have personal experience with other listserv-
like programs that do both and are free or low cost?  At NAU we run
mailserv, which is ugly and not-nice and does not do the web side.
