NYCPHP Meetup

[Mitch Pirtle]

Bynari is an excellent suite of software, but is primarily targeted as
an Exchange replacement. They were one of the reasons that IBM was so
quick to get linux running on their mainframe servers, so they could
pitch mission-critical messaging platforms and dominate that very
lucrative market.

I'm also looking for project management stuff, but Bynari is
definitely king of the hill for general messaging/groupware stuff. The
pricing is not so bad either.

Even on freshmeat the ones that *seem* to be good are not free.
