It seems to be a telephony provider in the Dominican Republic.
No "members" area though, so the domains hosted at Xoom are probably done.

http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/586/2000/11/0/4647766/ quotes
messages from Robert Kovacic stating that he first created RPCobol, then
decided that the name should be changed to Tiny Cobol (for non-technical
reasons).
Tiny Cobol seems to be quite active on SourceForge (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiny-cobol/ ). The author of the
above-cited message is among the project leaders, so I think that this
bit of history is correct. I'd probably drop any references to RPCobol
in favor of Tiny Cobol if I had such references (I'm utterly
disinterested in Cobol myself, and hope I'll never be forced to develop
interest in it, but that's probably not too interesting for those who
seek RPCobol *grin*).
