How did you get GNAT support for only $750.00/month?  The
price quoted to me by ACT was $48,000/year for the first
year and $24,000/year for subsequent years.  That's 
$4,000/month for the first year.  There is no way that
my one-programmer, 2-3 year project can justify ~$75,000 
to ~$100,000 for GNAT support.

I haven't heard a reply to my response to ACT's quote
yet.  But our MS Exchange server has been acting a 
little flaky , so I resent my response this
morning.  In my response I asked if there was any
cheaper options.  It sounds as if there just might.
