It looks as if they have removed the links to the old free product. I'm sure
many here have it still, but it is getting to be a real resource hog. I cannot
provide a link, as I can't post it if the manufacturer has decided to remove
their link. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure the free one was never actually designed to be free the way it was being used here. I seem to remember it being a linux desktop only version, while the mail server / file server versions were not free.
