well, that's not really true.  the charge is for datagate, which is
licenced for concurrent users (instead of installed users).  that was a
big concern for us too, because our product was distributed to our
customer's members.

if i had it to do today, i'm not sure which way i would go.  both have
their advantages.  

but asna does go the extra mile with customer care.  and that's worth a
lot.  in some cases, it can be priceless!
