Hi again,
Well, my effort in putting forward solutions other than MS has
always been the styability issue. Do they want a server which crashes & is
a relatively insecure system or do they want something that runs almost
100% of the time. SIMS will definitely handle the job, but you need an
external Webmail.
Communigate Pro on the other hand includes Webmail I think, but the
price is extraordinary. I'd love to go with it, but we simply can't afford
it - the price is in US dollars & you can pretty much double that for
Australian dollars price at the moment.
Bye for now, Terry Allen
