Hi again,
	I'm not overly clear on what you want here - are you saying 
that the client has their hosting already running Mailman? If this is 
the case, then there is no need for you to do anything on your local 
machine.
	The typical web interface is something along the lines of:

http://www.domain.com/mailman/admin

	The ISP should be able to provide you with login details for 
creating the list. I hope this is of at least some use for you.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
