So, let me get this straight. If you got an e-mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED], you would possibly not help those people out very much if they had a strange problem? You see, these guys are the testing and development bunch at NRK, Norway's stately owned and run media company. They have three country wide terrestrial coverage TV channels, a whole bunch of radio channels (analogue and digital) as well as having satellite coverage of most of Europe north of Italy and Spain. Possibly one of the best TV and Radio production offices in the world audio and video quality vice ). This gmail address is their official address. You will find it if you go to www.nrkbeta.no (www.nrk.no is the main page). If my first assessment was right, you are actually to some extent disregarding any smaller and obviously a few larger companies requests just because they choose to not run their email services themselves, but rather use a free online service? In my opinion that could prove to be bad for business. I believe more and more technological companies, especially smaller ones (which possibly could be your biggest user group), woud rather spend time developing than maintaining a email service. Also, even you must admit that gmail is pretty sweet from a business point of view, calendar, office tools and all =) -Morgan- _______________________________________________ live-devel mailing list live-devel@lists.live555.com http://lists.live555.com/mailman/listinfo/live-devel
