Re: [cobalt-users] Cobalt Alternatives

[Allan Liska <priz@xxxxxxxx>]

We actually had a much better experience with Network Engines.  Their
sales rep came out and did a demo of the product, and he also gave us a
demo to try out for 30 days...and the machine definately kicks!  Their web
engine (the cobalt-like product) is not released yet, so I haven't seen
that.

Steve -- I checked out their web site just now, and the links work...they
bring up other links in the middle of the page you can click on (I'm using
Netscape 4.7 on a Linux box).

If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them off-list.
