I've installed a few of these here in Canada, and the 5 license for one client. It's a lot cheaper/simpler than rolling your own... and it 'Drummond' certified ;-) I have no interest in the company. I simply want to find the best deal for my clients and avoid a shock when they need an additional license... > I've only checked with one other company who happens to also be a > VAN about their AS2 software.
