Hi Patrick
The person who maintains the pcounter for Novell charges approx $200,
including 1 year support and upgrades. (around that figure)
I know that we have been have been happy to buy this, as although we
should be able to work out how to implement an accounting script, time is
a problem.
What would you think of charging?
