There is a server at the Yale site, but if you want to play around more with the parameters, you can download the whole package and run it locally without too much trouble. There are some options which are not available through the server. The documentation is not great, however. The Gerstein package also contains the entropy-based methods (at least some). My problem is really knowing where to go once one gets the results...
