Moving from SCO to Suse Linux

[Joe Chasan]

[ top-post for john ]

John, you might want to look at that mail server product (SCOoffice Server
http://www.sco.com/products/officeserver/).  i did the webinar series on 
it, it look's like a great fit for companies with windows PC's, SCO server,
and their only need for an MS server is as an exchange server.  Completely
replaces it with lots of goodies - mail (including spam, virus check), 
outlook calendaring (API coming soon - can't wait to send outlook 
calendaring info to/from filepro), shared address books, etc.

Going to pick up an NFR very soon myself.
