For two users, I would recommend you look at RIM's Blackberry Professional Software - http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/professional/.
It includes one CAL with the free download and you can purchase additional licenses as you need them for up to 30. I have it installed and running on a couple of SBS 2003 servers, for less than 10 BB users; I would suggest that you install it on a separate machine for more than that though that would also depend on the load on your server. Either way, you can download the software and try it out for one of your users or testing purposes; if you like it, you can purchase the additional CAL.

We have ISA 2004 server and thinking of migrating to ISA 2006. They need email and calendaring. BB server needs to be installed in a different machine? If so, It requires a Windows server machine? What is the range or pricing of BB Server? Thanks, Miguel --- John Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: > It really depends on several factors - how many > users? Firewall configuration?
