Aha....

My warmest recommendations to dump windows as a server. I've been moving a bunch of domains and sites from win to Lin within the past year. My next big project in this transition is to move our members website (http://members.mycoolmobile.com) to linux. This would involve creating all the PHP scripting to transfer user data from MSSQL to MySQL and then try to duplicate all the automated counting and daily processes involved.

However, I'm still tied to win2000 server as long as I can find somebody to create a message router for linux. (Routing using protocols such as SMPP, UCP, SEMA, HTTP, SMTP, etc.... and the ability to route messages back and forth between wireless operators SMSC/MMSC and our content platform.) So far all the commercially available solutions lack some functionality I need. Perhaps I need to learn some C++ programming for Linux.
