        whoops, sent that too quickly...

        resuming:

        It seems to me that you could do the same thing with ftp.
Have a frames document where the html for one of the panes comes through
anonymous ftp instead of http.  You would then have a process essentially
doing a tail -f on the log file.  Any new addition could trigger a script
to parse the last line of the log file, and do whatever.  No JavaScript
involved.
