I completely agree with you but unfortunately a few people here at work refuse to admit there is a problem. I'm currently using Groupwise and it's constrantly locking up or freezing for several minutes at a time. Were using a dual 550mhz server with Groupwise 5.5 for 600 users. The really bad part is Novell Groupwise doesn't work with dual CPU's. The administrator for the server says he's going to upgrade it to dual 900mhz CPU with novell 6 and that should fix all the issues.... but I doubt it.

I would not pay 2 cents for the new Novell Groupwise.
Novell keeps going up in resources and the MAPI
is still non standard.
Also Groupwise is a major resource hog.
I would use Linux's equivilent of Exchange.
You will be hapier in the end and 95 98 2000 Me or xp Outlook users would
think that they are talking
natively to a Exchange server.
Though I can not remember the name of this product it is far cheaper and
more reliable and easier on resources.
As for price Novell has always be very expensive!
Good Luck
