Their product is not that complicated, and it seems to me at least, that they deserve a good dose of open source competition. I use Legato products because management bought it. Not because I think they are the best at what they do. They are pretty good at marketing.

Essentially, you have to pay a one time fee for going 'cross-platform' (different platform server then client.) It is just their way of raping you even more then the $300 you already paid per-client. Call Cathy Won at 650-812-6151 and tell her you think it sucks that you have to pay another $2000 for an unsupported, unofficial client. I sure did. Tell your sales rep too. BTW - If you had an NT server (like I do) and FreeBSD clients (like me) you have to pay this fee too. --=20 - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org=20 with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
