We're evaluating SoftQuad at this moment. They want about $2800 CDN
per server. At least, that's what I got verbally. This makes them a
good value for a shop with a number of users on a server. 

I called AT&T and was passed to head office in Toronto. They say that
DWB 3.1 is not a supported product yet (i.e. I can't get it yet.) This
may only apply to Canada, but from some of the recent postings, it
looks like it's still a bit rough.
