Basically, each user would hand over a credit card number to receive a logon & password. Each month, the user would get a list of how much each client downloaded, so he could bill from it. (If the software would bill automatically, better still, but I'm not about to push my luck.) I know that RealServer is available, plus a bit of hacking for the billing, but I'd like a second possibility, if only to tell the client that I evaluated all his options. :) It seems that *someone* must have done this already... Is anyone out there doing this who can recommend a particular package or combination of packages?
