Go to http://www.pclinuxonline.com/modules.php?name=Search and run a search for "bynari". You'll get a bunch of results. Bynari can be found at http://www.bynari.net/. I personally think that your best bet is Ximian Evolution (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_evolution/). It is GPL, and is designed to fit in with the GNOME desktop environment. It can connect with an Exchange 2000 server via Ximian Connector (http://www.ximian.com/products/connector/). Evolution is designed to look and act like MS Outlook (without the security holes or spyware, of course), so the learning curve for existing Outlook users is not steep. Evolution is already included in Mandrake Linux, and also in Ximian GNOME (http://www.ximian.com/products/ximian_gnome/). -- Sridhar Dhanapalan Nine out of ten voices in my head can't be wrong, can they?
