If your company already has Internet access, the solution can be as cheap as=
an old Mac Classic, and an ethernet connector, some shareware=
software...end of story. Total cost about $700 if you dont already have the=
Mac. This would be enough for a dedicated server. Use Phil Zimmerman's PGP=
(pretty good privacy) public key encryption for data security to DOD=
standards and off you go! No need to buy another modem or buy into BBS=
software, and no need for our expensive long-distance calls. If anyone=
wants to know where to get PGP, I can point you to the appropriate WWW home=
page.......... at a price! My consultancy fee is one beer, payable when you=
next see me.! The fee is waived for everyone in this group, on the basis=
that I collected in advance on your behalf at the last 3 NAB Alpha Image=
parties. Thanks M.C.
