Ah.  It may use their own webserving engine, you never know, then your IIS
questions are moot.  If they don't want to pay for it.. bah.  And if they've
got a machine already running SBS 2003, why not use it for this purpose?

Hmmm.  I can't say - they recommend Win 2000 or XP Pro for the OS in their 
specs.  After I did up the quote, they decided that one machine need 2003 
Server Basic Small Business Edition.  But they don't want to pay the extra 
for the OS, but they don't want the limited conections, so that where the 
question on XP Pro comes from.

I'm reading about IIS 6.0, and it appears that it doesn't have the 10 user 
limit that IIS 5.0 comes with.  Is it possible it just run IIS 6.0 on XP 
Pro, or do you have to go with 2003?  Or could they use Apache or some 
other web server on XP Pro to get around the IIS 5.0 limitation?
