We use Netscape Calendar. Works with Macs, Windows, and many flavors of
UNIX. It requires a Windows NT server or a UNIX server for Calendar Server.
I think version 3.5 is LDAP compliant so it could pull your user info from
an LDAP server.

Using Communicator, you have a cross-platform, standards-based package that
includes web browser, IMAP/POP/SMTP compliant mail, enterprise calendaring,
WYSIWIG HTML editor, newsgroup reader, and web conferencing.

So let me get this straight, there is an Outlook client for the Mac that
has DOES have calendar, contact and such. BUT the catch is you MUST use
the MS Exchange server. Is this right? We need a cross platform calendar
soluntion for my company. We had ruled out Outlook cause it didn't have
calendar for the Mac. But you're saying it does, IF you use the Exchange
server? Does anyone know of any other truly cross platform calendar
solutions? We wanted to use Eudora Planner, but they are so far behind on
getting the Mac version out it's ridiculous and my boss said forget it,
find something else. Can anyone help?
