They know they will have to pay for something. Either they pay someone to host some service and manage it, or they pay to have a server and someone to manage it. With ten clients, it's not something that's going to be cost-effective for me to set up (Exchange, Kolab, or otherwise) or manage, and I don't think I want to get into that business, especially considering the link below offers it for $15.95 for one user per month. > http://www.intermedia.net/hosting/exchange/ They look like a top-notch company and have prices right there. Impressive. Two local companies that offer the service (also discussed earlier in the thread) are USInternet and Agiliti. Thanks for the info, though, Chris _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
