            Mike is quite correct about ExtremeZ-IP: It too is a very good product. That's
    why I recommended downloading and trying the fully functioning demo's for each.
       <http://www.cyansoft.de>
       <http://www.grouplogic.com>

            ExtremeZ-IP is easier to set up, while MacServer IP has better control,
    especially with memory allocation.

            Costwise, MacServer IP costs a LOT less for small sites, while ExtremeZ-IP
    costs less for large sites.

            Both, though, are very good products that perform as advertised. Primarily due
    to the cost of small site licenses (5 & 10 users) I install MacServer IP
    instead of ExtremeZ-IP; but I wouldn't hesitate to install the GroupLogic
    product.

            Cheers!
            Dan

    |Not to sound bad or go against Dan's suggestions, but I have looked at
    |MacserverIP and also ExtremeZ-ip, for whatever reasons I choose ExtremeZ-IP
    |and it also works Very well, and I have not had one problem with it on about
    |13 servers. Basically that means, download both demo's and see for yourself
    |which one fits better into your needs....8-)
