Cost ... $0.90 per trigger

High pressure sales but they know when to back off. Normally they will wait to hear from you before placing a call. Their support is via a 1-800 number where as PTI is a toll number everytime you call them.

VERY HIGH pressure sales and don't seem to know when to back off. Their support is a toll call.

     Logical*2-3
     Logical Technologies
     Australian based company
     813 - 751 - 4043 (USA rep)
     Jack Hubbard

Cost ... 50 FoRMs ($980), 250 ($3750), unlimited ($6500), this is a single
         site cost.

Very laid back ... the president call me several times from Australia at home (Omaha, NE) which I though was way-cool. They are their to help and guaranteed 24 hour turn around on any problem.

Our situation is a little different than most in that we are on a mainframe computer (VM/ESA). We have to manually change solid vertical bars to the || (for concatenation).

Logical was the only product that converted everything without a problem. The other products had several problems, again on the IBM mainframe product.

As for pricing ... there is a disclosure situation I am in but you should be able to get the $0.90/trigger down to at least $.60 without working at it to hard.

Need any more info ... feel free to call or e-mail me your questions.
