This is a little off topic because it concerns Communigate Pro rather than
SIMS. I just ran across an interesting suggestion over on the OS X Server list
that the folks at Stalker might want to consider if they haven't already
looked into it:

How about it Stalker? I know that I would seriously consider recommending to
my employer upgrading our file server from OSXS 1.2 to OSXS 10.x if I knew
that it would include a CGP license. Due to the nature of the company I work
for, I couldn't start to justify the expense of CGP by itself, but its
inclusion could help to justify the cost of the OSXS upgrade. Of course, I
realize that there might very well be business considerations that could make
such a bundle arrangement impractical for one party or the other (Apple or
Stalker), but as an end-user I can always hope... 8^)
