I received the following E-mail from Paul Swart ) at
Starnet Communications about a special license fee for their X-Win32 client
software for running Linux X-Window desktop, and apps, remotely over the
Internet or a LAN connection. I would think there would be some Hams who
would be interested in contacting Paul about his proposal.

I've tried the demo out using the Gnome desktop under Fedora Core 3 and it's
a really slick bit of work.

"How many of these non-commercial Ham users would you say could use the
X-Win32 X server?

I'm thinking about setting up some kind of special (low-cost) license
program exclusively for this kind of use by Ham radio operators so cost
would not be any barrier. Just like we're selling lots of classroom/lab
licenses to schools at around $30. The revenue basically supports our cost
of the program, including the engineering and tech support we provide to
these users. I'm sure you have ways to make this known to others in your Ham
community so that the volume would justify putting the program in place."

Let me now if I'm onto something or whether we're talking about a handful of
people in the Ham radio community that could use our software.
