BTW - why the BB ?
what are your plans for email, etc ?
Do you currently have a Microsoft Exchange server, or Lotus Notes server,
that could be intigrated with the BB ?

We are running the Microsoft SBS (small biz server) for a group of 10,
and have the BES (BB server) also running to capture domain emails for the
BB.
