We used it at my last job: a company with locations in Asia, Europe, US, and Mexico. As far as I could tell, it's a caching proxy with a client side software. It's pretty good at conserving your bandwidth, especially if you have multiple people at a location trying to access the same files over the network. The software was reasonably stable. We only had a few (rare) issues with it using up the cpu for no reason. I don't know anything about the pricing, and I don't have any numbers on how much bandwidth it actually saved us, although there is some sort of graphing mechanism built in if you want to track your stats. -- Don Delp 618.616.2993 http://nesman.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
