Kevin... Another win for the Zix. It is interesting in the PR, their partnership with Networks 2000 does not list a web site for them. I did a search and found them and their web site is not that great. They do however seem to be a decent consulting firm and if you look long enough you will find a mention of secure e-mail as one of their services. No mention however of ZIX on their web site. Interesting.
