There is an article about it in this month's Linux Journal. It looks as though it is used with Windows clients running Outlook, communicating with an IBM mainframe server running Linux (presumably in emulation mode). The article is quite an interesting read in its own right; it seems Exchange is another of those things that one thinks Microsoft developed internally but turns out to be based on an older protocol.

Hi Brad. About 6 months ago I was looking at this solution for the same sort of seats. I contacted Bynari and they basically said their client is too unstable to be used in production (sounds like a great idea to advertise a product with a price tag on it when you know it's unstable, don't you?) >From memory I was told that AltN bought out the Exchange-replacement product from Bynari. See http://www.altn.com/press/press_release.asp?ReleaseID=49 for more info. Although by the look of it it's only out for Windows and judging by all their other software they are a Windows software development house only. I guess their aim is to provide a cheaper alternative to Exchange.
