A hostname is a uniform method used to locate hosts. But it is NOT a "URL". The hostname is just one part of the URL, which must also be prefixed with the protocol to be used.
www.domain.com is a domain name http://www.domain.com or ftp://www.domain.com are URLs
I don't even think a study was really necessary for me to come to the same conclusion. Many a time I have been talking on my hands free whilst driving, and completely missed a turn-off in an area that I am very familiar with. Or I have hung up, and then had to think for a few seconds where the hell I am.
And for any gamers out there, next time you're playing the latest driving sim game on your PS2 or X-Box, what is your reaction when the phone rings then? Most likely you'll take the attitude that you can't let a phone conversation interrupt your chance and breaking the track record!
One option you could try is the Progress(tm), which is an enterprise server, primarily for the big boys (HP/UX, AIX, etc). I have used the SCO version on Linux using iBCS, and it ran a 20Gig database with tables of bigger than 2Gig. Progress have, earlier this year, now released a native Linux port of their enterprise server and 4GL development (which is very powerful and quite easy to pick up) See www.progress.com.
