[Sussex] An actual Linux application question :-)

A mate of mine is setting up, with two former colleagues, a small
consulting business.

They are each going to be working from their homes.

They want a shared database to manage their contacts on (normal
marketing things like - name, company, email, phone no, last contact,
letters sent, Christmas card list....etc....)

They are looking at Access :-0

I have persuaded him to "give me a couple of days" to come up with an
alternative. My mate has (BT!) ADSL, so will be able to host the
"server".

I'm assuming that there must be packages out there to hook up to a MySQL
backend, and provide a web front-end already there...

I know I _could_ go and surf sourceforge for a while, but would rather
ask if anyone already knew of something?

Regards,

Mark
