Automated calendaring

My management has asked me to locate a calendaring system that
is more automated that what they're using now.  Currently, we're
about 75% saturated with Suns.  All of the decision-makers (through
their secretaries) use the freely-available Calentool program (by
Philip Heller, with enhancements by Bill Randle).  They find themselves 
yearning for a more automated way to resolve schedule conflicts.

Given the recent discussion in this group, is it fair to assume that
the issue of automated calendar conflict resolution is still
unsettled?  Are there any commercial products out there that purport
to address this problem?  It occurs to me that Calentool could be 
modified to know of the existence of other Calentools.  Perhaps an
RPC interface with calls like Invite_to_Meeting(), Accept_Invitation(),
Reject_Invitation()?  Has anyone else considered something like this?

I've moved comp.groupware near the top of my .newsrc, so you can
reply here if you think others would be interested.  Otherwise,
please send me mail if you've got a comment or suggestion.

Thanks!

Paul Allen
