> - requirements are generally: > + email > + private and shared calendars A lovely idea, nearly always implemented wrong so it doesn't work. I worked at one place (one of Australia's most famous dot.bombs) where the clocks on all the computers were wrong by up to ten minutes and the computers were locked down so much individual users couldn't change their own clocks. So you'd have people arriving to meetings over a period of twenty minutes. I regularly get global emails at my current work saying that the resource-booking system is broken and to use bits of paper stuck to the doors of the meeting rooms instead. > + sync to PDA (typically a Windows one of course) Who really ever does this? > + private and shared contacts Yeah like this will ever be accurate or up-to-date. I worked for a big corporate once who had an _amazing_ LDAP infrastructure. You could build an Org chart from it. Implemented in OpenLDAP. Never seen a place with Exchange where there hasn't been something seriously wrong with the data. > + home folders available for download only Not quite sure what this is and I've never seen it implemented in the real world in Exchange. -- Rev Simon Rumble <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www.rumble.net Remember that 50% of people are even dumber than the average. - Iamthefallen on slashdot -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
