Wow - Navigating the PostNuke site is quite tough - I just wanted to see how to make an RSS feed from site postings. At last - a solution: "To avoid confusion that some of you are having, this feature is already included in PN .72x ... To enable it, open your backend.php. Near the top of the file, is a variable $show_content = 0. Change it to $show_content=1 to enable the feature."[from Enhanced RSS feed :: pnModules :: PostNuke Modules]

XML-RPC Class Server XCS stands short for XML-RPC Class Server. It can make any existing PHP class available for access via XML-RPC (without any modifications). You only need to put the file "xcs.php" in the same directory with your class files. [from WebKreator - XML-RPC Class Server]

ph-pxmlrpc - "A PHP implementation of the XML-RPC web RPC protocol."
Zend: XML-RPC client - "This tutorial teaches you, step-by-step, how to build an XML-RPC client in PHP using the XML-RPC library written by Edd Dumbill. It covers each of the PHP classes you will be using, and how they fit together to form the final client."

I have noticed alot of activity on my network card; therefore, I downloaded Ethereal to check out the packets. Every second there is data sent to "Spanning-tree-(for-bridges)" from eth1 MAC address. I am using LEAF Bering firewall - I wonder if there is a problem with my bridge configuration? Or is this normal STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) behavior? Anyway, I found a nice primer from Bay Networks on Spanning Tree Algorithm.
