Platypus is very nice for a dialup base, but be prepared for some work if you do lots of web-hosting, leased-lines, or other non-dialup business. Be ready for learning how gross Crystal Reports and NT SQL server are... Had lots of issues getting them to help get their unix account-creation daemon running on FreeBSD... Support generally assumes you have good NT SQL knowledge. If we had to do it again, we'd look further. If your base is all dial though, and you can use it out of the box, it's wonderful.
