[Ashi Sheth <asheth () AUS EDU>]

Darin -

AUS has begun using an Open-Source app called Pak-N-Post (http://www.paknpost.org) this semester. It operates in a very 
similar fashion to www.yousendit.com. If you would like to check it out in use, you can visit our site: 
http://fileshare.aus.edu. We have been fairly happy with its capabilities and functionalities so far. The installation 
requirements are fairly simple and it also has the ability to perform virus scans if antivirus is available on the 
system.

If you would like to speak to our engineer who installed / customized it for us, let me know.

Thanks.
