Yup, Groupwise is 'broken standards' in action. I personally don't like their client, it has many MANY bugs and it seems pretty bulky for what it does. OTOH, the rumor of a linux client does entice me a little. I think their communication standard is just as proprietary as Exchange, although it does accept POP/SMTP clients of any flavor. Groupwsie has another route though, just as excahnge does. It has a web interface. There is a project underway to create an open-source Exchange client which uses perl to send/receive commands from the web scripts and pipe it to a desktop client. The same could be done with Groupwise, but since few use it there's no real call for it. -Brian
