A new domain after the first one that you get with your provider will cost you between $200/y and $600/y depending on whether he (the provider) has paid the $6000 fee to be in the FR-NIC council or not. In France, it is not as easy as paying $50/y for a domain :-( In other words, forget about freebsd.org.fr. I don't even think they would accept it as they ask the name to be a registered trade mark in order to reduce name space pollution in .fr. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #1: Sun Dec 3 14:34:17 MET 1995
