HP Open Mail will run on either NT, Linux and a couple other Unix varients. It is a nearly identical equivelant of Exchange. You can obtain a lisense for home use, or charitable organizations for $0.00. The limitation is that it will only handle up to 50 people on that lisense. Further lisense additions run $50 per user in 50 user blocks. That is what our organization is paying for Exchange lisenses and we are a large organization. Uopshot is though not free, I think it would be cheaper the Exchange. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net
