IIRC the sf.net poll system isnt that 'advanced' - its just a case of
each question being able to have stock seection of answers... (which
are programmable) but no remark fields or email entering fields etc.

the idea of a PHP program to collect the data is the most interesting
method to collect such information.


I would possibly get a PowerFlyer if it had proper support. been holding off.

me too... i need to have a working kernel so that I can start playing
with things that no longer work... eg some serial hardware.  and then
maybe even take up that Mediator PCI challenge..or start on it.
but my kernel source code compiles...but I cant use that kernel
(and stupidly I now longer have a 2.4.13 tree :-( )
