I use webspeed to connect IIS to a progress database. What I want is a
linux solution. I do not think that there is a webspeed for linux
(although webspeed does talk to apache - windows).

I mean this:
Webspeed will in general allow you to web enable your existing app without
much trouble. Zope wont. Citrix will allow me to run apps over a
network - no additional development cost.
Why then should my company go in for Zope? Although the product is free,
the development costs after getting it are too high. I would not
reccommend it to the company for this reason.
