Why don't you have a look at sourceforge? Search there for 'Groupware' and read the descriptions. At first sight I found 2 projects for webbased groupware which would run perfectly in your intranet. So your secretary can continue work with programs she knows (browser) but the data is still secure in your Linux environment. The 2 I found are TUTOS and 'twiggi web-based groupware'. wobo -- Registered Linux User 228909 Powered By Mandrake Linux sum(8.1+0.1) -------------------------------------------------------------------- It is NOT portable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never will support anything other than AT-harddisks.
