Re: SIMS and OSX

[Joe Sporleder]

Yep, it's still called EIMS. There is a "lite" version for $200, but 
the lite version doesn't do multiple domains, among other things. I 
have been considering buying an eMac, and for $500 more, I can get the 
10 user client of MacOS X Server, which is only $100 more than what 
Glenn is asking for EIMS. I'll wait until Panther Server is released 
before considering such a move, as it is supposed to be using new mail 
services that are supposed to be more robust and powerful compared to 
the ASIP Mail Server ported to MacOS X from MacOS 9.

The main thing I do on my home network, is I use my broadband (with my 
ISP's blessing, of course) to run mailing lists, mainly as a hobby, by 
using a combination of SIMS and Macjordomo. Macjordomo is being ported 
to MacOS X. Heck, I'd even pay $100 or so for a MacOS X version of 
SIMS, as I think Communigate Pro might be a bit of over kill for my 
particular needs. If Glenn would cut his prices in about 1/2, I would 
more seriously consider it. Maybe SIMS is a good reason to keep a few 
old PowerPCs around, running MacOS 9.

Is it still called EIMS?  I though Glenn had it back from Qualcomm now 
as his own property?

which is currently in beta for MacOS X. Of course, it commercial, and 
the cost is $400.
While I've liked Glenn's work over the years and I applaud his moving 
EIMS to OS X, I think he's seriously delusional to think people are 
going to pay $400 for an OS X version.  That's approaching Commingator 
Pro pricing...
