Re: Blackberry and Domino?

Chris,

He just sent a link for the software. It is the one I had found by 
Google and that page states that it has to run on Windows Server OS. It 
doesn't mention XP-Pro. His so-called "no-cost" option would cost 
another Domino license even if the page is wrong about needing Server 
OS. And if the page is right it would cost thousands of dollars to 
install another whole server.
