I don't know of any single, monolithic, open-source software package that attempts to act as a 'drop-in' replacement for proprietary groupware systems such as Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Notes, and Novell GroupWise. However, a team from Lucent did write a paper describing how they accomplished the goal of 'Providing Reliable NT Desktop Services by Avoiding NT Server.' This paper was written in 1998, but the underlying principles and much of the information is still valid: http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa-nt98/full_papers/limoncelli/limoncelli_html/limoncelli.html The paper is also available as a PDF document: http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa-nt98/full_papers/limoncelli/limoncelli.pdf -- Joel Schneider Yan Xin Qigong in Minneapolis joel at joelschneider.net http://yanxinqigong.minneapolis.mn.us/
