True, the su-net server[1] is well designed. With scsh's static heap
compiler it also provides good performance: a 1.8MB executable
(Linux/x86), 900KB RSS, pretty fast at serving scsh scripts. I run it
in conjunction with Apache, on a separate port, using mod_proxy to map
a certain part of the web space to the su-net server for running CGIs.

The jael server sounds very interesting: I didn't know such a thing
existed. Perhaps it could be added to the Volunteer Projects Page?
