Could anybody answer

My Internet operator doesn't have in his webserver the extensions needed to
run Discussion groups (made by FrontPage 2000 ) and many other things in
principle easily done (constructed) by using FP 2000. The server is using
Linux.

The operator hesitates in getting these extensions. He says that it might be
possible that the use of Discussion groups in his server could cause harm
to the server. According to him it could cause security problems or poblems
in proper functionig of the server programs (e.g. the server could even go
down).

I have several questions:

1) What do you think or know about these risks. Are they possible risks and
if
so how probable do you think they are and in what kind of situations they
are posible?

2) If there aren't any real risks how could I make my operator sure about
this?

3) Is it easy to put the needed extensions in my own server (also Linux).
Which are the main problems in this?

4) Are there servers that have these extensions and which are free to use,
without any payments ( like Yahoo, which unfortunately doesn't have these
extensions)
