So the minimum you have to pay is $295+$3000 for a 100-user
Apache+mod_ssl based webserver, right?

Oh, that's interesting. Can you give me details so I can add BSAFE support to
the INSTALL file and the libssl.module script (different -l, -L options,
etc.)? What I at least need to know is:
1. Is BSAFE API compatible to RSAref?
(when yes this mean SSLeay's RSAglue works, when not what
else have to be used as the glue code)
2. What is the filesystem layout of the BSAFE dev libs package, i.e. where is
the libxxx.a (for -L) and include files (for -I) and how are they named
(xxx=bsafe for -l?, bsafe.h?)
Can you give us some details?
