I had a great demo from a BeyondTrust engineer last year, just because I asked for one. The engineer had no trouble running the demo on his Mac and ssh-ing in to several boxes to show me that the systems in question in the background were multiplatform...and that the demo wasn't canned. If you're really interested in their products, ask for a demo. I have that guy's contact info around if you'd like. ---pam
