I ( and I am sure many others here) would be more than willing to beta test a Protel unix version. I can not see it being that hard to convert protel over (apart from converting the database over to mysql from access) I know it would be labour intensive, but I believe it would give them more respect (and may even save the company). In an age where ppl are getting pissed of with monopolies and being told what to do and how to do it, OS's like the *nix's are starting to be more and widely used.
I have moved all my servers over from NT to FreeBSD, and now experience up times in double digits (would be higher if I used a UPS) where as NT would have problems even making 10 days. And to make things better I do not have to keep track of how many copies I have of the OS and computers using it, and trying to make all the apps work together, to save having to buy another license. Now if the web server bogs down and I need a second, I just throw FreeBSD on another box and share the load. If this was not enough of a reason, NT 4 was slow as on a p133 with 48Mb ram, FreeBSD runs fine on the same machine, even ran faster on a 486 DX 2 66 than what NT was running on the P133 Regards, Kat. ____________________________________________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | K.A.Q.
