The answer to the first question is that there are many members of this list who would be happy to offer support for VistA on a commercial basis. GT.M and Linux support can be purchased through them if they offer it or directly from Fidelity or your Linux distributor.
The answer to the second needs a clarification of "manage". The same consultants who support VistA can interface VistA to the office management system, and support it. But the practice will presumably manage it on a day to day basis in the sense of initiating any periodic data exchange that may be required. -- Bhaskar On Sat, 2005-09-24 at 22:35 -0500, Matthew King wrote: > -----Original Message----- > From: David Massanari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Fri 9/23/2005 6:29 PM > To: Matthew King > Cc: Linda Gorey; Manuel Ferreiro > Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Synopsis of VistA Community > Call for 09/16/2005 > Matt, > > I'm very interested in learning more about what you hear.
