Hi,
I'm sorry I cannot find any ideas in that URL, so I continue without knowing
what the MSN network is or what exactly it is that you are doing (the comments
talk about a nice script, which I've failed to find).
Could you register your project again with a more detailed description (for
someone who has no idea what the MSN network is). And if you already have some
script, we'd like to take a look at it (even if it is not functional yet).

Also note that we are very careful with some terminology: Linux is a kernel
and not a complete operating system; GNU/Linux is a more correct name for the
operating system. And we do not identify ourselves with the Open Source
movement but with the Free Software movement
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html)

Cheers,
