Michael, Thank you for sharing the messages you exchanged with SI. I cannot understand their logic. I am obviously missing something. The most popular http server out there (over 40% of all installed systems) is Apache ( apache.org .) Apache is free and runs (only) under UNIX (with the potential exception of OS/2.) Linux is free. Both pieces of software run under a variety of hardware platforms, including Intel. If running under UNIX is so expensive, why is Apache so dominant (including sites with thousands of workstations), and increasing in dominance? [Check the Netcraft survey ( netcraft.co.uk )as proof.] Why can't they simply change the operating system and the http server using the same hardware they have today? I apologize for barking up the wrong tree and preaching to the choir. Best regards. --Francisco.
