Help! Help! Save me from M$ Exchange!

["Kelly Black" <blackk100@hotmail.com>]

I have been given a week to come up with hard evidence that HP's OpenMail 
would not be the kiss of death for the company I work for.
The only other alternative they will consider is Exchange (shudder).  In 
order to allow our company to go with OpenMail instead of exchange would be 
some real life experiences anyone out there might have had with OpenMail in 
a company of our size.

The statistics:  Company approx 50 users headed to 75 or 100 in less then a 
year.  About 10 or 20 remote users as some point (occasional dial-up 
connection to the main office).

I guess I would like to know if anyone else out in the list, (or colleagues 
of list members) can help me with the following:

1.  How long did it take to implement?
2.  Problems associated with contacting HP for support?
3.  End user reaction to use of the Outlook client with OpenMail?
4.  Any other data that you think might help me out!!!

Thanks,
Kelly Black
