Yeah Communigate Pro has been bother me for some time as well, I
discussed with Paul a while back and he didn't want to change it, now
it has been bought up into discussion again, he has finally backed
down and we are looking into alternatives.


We are both looking into ClamAV, Paul has one of his techinicians
having a fiddle with it at Swadelands. So hopefully that could be seen
in the next version.

At the moment, we have got SAL (the backup server) just backing up
onto harddisk. This is another feature we will have to look into, but
seeing neither of us has a tapedrive, we will have to keep this on
hold until we can raise some money to do testing.

I have been regularly searching on Freshmeat and have come across this
one many times, and either this one or a similar setup will be used,
we I have enough time to test it and write the intergration
scripts.....
