Neither  SunOS nor  BSDi are  "computer systems  that can't  be LISTSERVs
themselves". LISTSERV works on both, and  on 6 other brands of unix, plus
VMS and VM.

ListProc does not run on VMS. LISTSERV does.
 
Anyway, to answer  the original question, LISTSERV was  designed from day
one for remote list maintenance. Thus, all  you need to do is find a site
willing to host your list. The best is to write up a short description of
the list,  its goal, the expected  membership and volume, and  post it to
LSTSRV-L. Someone will probably "sponsor" your list and you'll be able to
maintain it yourself.
