It is not basically dead. It is just plain dead. HP no longer sells the
product, period. They have shut down their users group web site, etc.

No, HP Europe is not the address. HP in the States was the address but
they are no longer selling this product at all. I know, I was a local
reseller.

Not so. It costs about $3,200.

The technical forums are now gone. There was too much badmouthing of HP
because they sucked up to Microsoft.

We did. Bynari "TradeServer" is no longer sold, it is now a legacy
