The jist of what I've read so far is that Ximian Connector is a client, costing $69 per seat license, that connects to Exchange. From www.ximian.com...
" Ximian Connector is a unique client software extension that allows Linux and UNIX users of the Ximian Evolution groupware suite to manage personal information and collaborate with Windows-based co-workers using Microsoft Exchange 2000.With Ximian Connector installed, Ximian Evolution will function as a Microsoft Exchange 2000 client, enabling users to manage their email, personal calendars, group schedules, address books and tasks lists using existing company Exchange 2000 servers." As I understand, it also interfaces through OLA (Outlook Web Access), which must be running on the Exchange server for browser-based access. The term "server product" caught my attention. It is, though, closed source. -- -j John Beamon On Wed, 1 May 2002, Dustin Puryear wrote: > Date: Wed, 01 May 2002 20:17:18 -0500 > From: Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: [brlug-general] Evolution.. finally there? > > Anyone seen the new product based around Ximian Evolution?
