Your carrier might also throw BES in for free with the purchase of a certain number of devices. Probably the best way to go. Or you could go BES Express or Professional for up to 15 users, 20 if you pay for it.

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?
