Georgie: What do you think of ICOR. WIth the recent news out: 1. ICOR gets top honors. See article below 2. Just selected by GMGC today to be used in their Portico system. ====================================================== Collaborative Computing IMAP Server:ISOCOR N-PLEX Enterprise In the field of IMAP mail servers, ISOCOR N-PLEX takes top honors. In our tests, N-PLEX was an administrator's dream, with its distributed nature and management system. The distributed approach of its remote management utility means N-PLEX IMAP and other optional servers can be installed, uninstalled and updated from anywhere on the network. ISOCOR's optional Internet directory server and Web gateway server further cemented N-PLEX's top finish. The directory server allowed for instant integration of directory and mail servers within our test N-PLEX cluster. Couple N-PLEX's IMAP server with the Web gateway and users can access all directory information and their mail in one complete server solution from anywhere on the network. N-PLEX also offers a variety of additional gateways for incorporating existing legacy message systems with the N-PLEX server cluster, but migration of non-SMTP-based messaging systems was not a focus in our most recent review of IMAP servers. However, N-PLEX does assist network administrators attempting the complex migration from legacy systems by providing IMAP and POP mail services in tandem with gateways for legacy mail systems. N-PLEX Enterprise, $1,995 to $20,000, ISOCOR, (310) 581-8100. www.isocor.com

Gary, well now that the good news is out on MIDL I seem to finally comprehend the game-plan Mr. Fisher had in mind with the 50% stock dividend and the warrants. Obviously he didn't need money. But his moves were somehow to preemp takeover attempts. He created shareholder value by 1) ensuring that nothing will be sold from the company's treasury to the open market 2) giving existing shareholders the opportunity to max out their position - including the warrant holders 3) thus forcing arbitrage people those shorting one and having the other long to reestimate their calculations 4) forcing a potential acquisition to be "PAID IN FULL" - if shares are tendered - it will be fine. But they will have to be tendered to the maximum amount possible. HEHE. Nobody will get the company cheap - that was ensured in this way. Very screwd move I think Summing up, Mr. Fisher seems to be doing a great job. I wonder who holds so many of MILDW & MIDLP besides You Gary. Could it be Steven King, the financier ?? Guess so, no problem with it. Now that the final act just started I like to sit back and watch. If MIDL will be acquired it will be a high-bidding contest for sure.. best regards CROSSY
