what do you mean by "trade union"? Something like a worker's union? If you
have something like that in mind I am off at once.
aa> 1) A specific mail list to be used as "virtual headquarter"
My listserv polls four time a day, but has no continuous Internet connection.
If that is fast enough for you I can host yet another mailing list. Some of
you
know t-telcom (telecommuting TW) which I have hosted since November 96.

I would prefer if he would do it...

Why should we not use Geocities or any of its competitors?
