Currently if I was a 1,000+ person company in 3 states and 2 countries, in need of a development team, possibly in each local and this needed to run both intra and internet information across multiple servers, again No. If I was a hosting company with 500 hosting clients, 1/2 of which want it both ways, full FTP access AND a custom database back-end, again No. If I was running a single server for a project I would be writing myself, or possibly with a couple of other development staff, had extremely limited development time and budget, in simple terms, Yes I would buy it again.No product is the right product for every type of job.Janet Lane (I promise I really am leaving ;) ------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
