Hi Jerry,

If you have some kind of map server (WMS, TMS) running then you can
'insert' tileCache [1] between the web page and the server to
serve up your tiles.  You should be able to run tileCache by itself
but you might want to tweak the python code to handle missing tiles.

I use WMS so my call is like a normal one .

var lay = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS("Cool Stuff",
            "http://somecoolinfo.somewhere.net/cgi-bin/tilecache.cgi?",
            { layers: "Neat Image"} ) ;
map.addLayer(lay);


Hope that helps!
