David,

Good link. Says a lot about the DFR300. I have not seen anything about the DFR300 shipping. Blanket statements may satisfy you...it does not me. $20 per scanner will be nice...if and when it ships.

I don't know how pricing works in the ESAF/IDX relationship...and you don't either.

As to fee schedules...I post what is publicly available...sorry...but I can not take your word for it.

The Compaq price is discounted to begin with because they are selling to compaq. Secugen is competitive whether you like it or not....you really think ESAF would not discount their application to make it competitive?

Currently ESAF may be at a price disadvantage due to not owning the algorithm...but as I have explained...you need to give hardware providers the algo license or there is little incentive to partner with esaf. Pricing pressures will keep both algos and hardware in check...so it is a temporary problem at best.

Don't worry...ESAF will make some sales. They must be more than a non-factor if Novell is including them in their product...

I repeat: so what? It is not like the IDX solution is included in the novell product...it is just a component. You still have to download BioClient and you still have to buy a product. What do you really get as an end user? You can't use it. ESAF's stuff is included as standard too...and that requires downloads and potential hardware purchases. Other than a stamp of approval...what does this do?

Finally...if IDX has bioengine standard...then why start out the press release by saying you support Novell? The end of that release says that it comes packaged with all NMAS for netware 5.1...is that all that this NMAS thing is good for or are there other applications that are missing here in relation to IDX?

Regards,
Bob
