Thanks Adam, that sounds like an offer worth exploring, although I
think we'll need the network edition. Putting aside the largely
unjustifiable UK bias for a moment, one of the most competitive
services seems to be this one:

We'd be in the 3-24 users category for $6.35 per user per month. That
seems like a pretty reasonable price. Another UK option I've found is
this one:

But I've yet to interegate their prices yet.

If you think there's any room for a discussion about how we could get
the network edition going for a reasonable price I'd definitely be
interested.
