Hiya, we are also trying out softxpand after having experienced problems with the ncomputing system. i'm not sure why this solution isnt as well known as ncomputing. I must say, the vendor miniframe has really good customer service. all tests so far have gone okay. there were a couple of little hitches at the beginning, but their tech team helped me sort them out pretty quickly and all is running smoothly now. tmcd35 - let me know how your tests go this week.
