Cost is really something that you'll have to discuss with the vendor. We have a large population in the UT System -- which correlates to a large discount off of academic list price. On Wed, 2007-05-16 at 10:37 -0700, Fowler, Steve wrote:
Nifty looking tool. What can you tell me about the costs of the software?

We've found Xythos to be ideal for replacing email attachments. You can license an additional plugin, called Xythos Drive, that can be configured to automatically upload attachments from Outlook to the Xythos server, replacing the email attachment with a link to the original document on the Web File Server.

My department is looking to enhance or replace ours, and it seems a common task. I see no benefit to using a commercial provider, butcouldsee the benefits of shared source with our fellow edu's. As always, I can summarize to the list if there are sufficient responses/interest. Cheers. -- Darin Dugan, System Admin Iowa State University Extension www.extension.iastate.edu
