HI Mark,

this has been done by a company using a linux DMZ machine as a
proprietary box, though not with all your extras, I looked into it
myself about three years ago.
You spec sounds very good.
there is a market, but it is difficult to access, as all the MDs of
such companies believe the M$oft hype, read PC World, have a
son/daughter/other relation who is "terribly good".

£90- 400 a month?
Small companies are cheapskates, give them a discount on the service
charge for the first 6/12 months, then give them an annual/monthly deal.

just my 2p
Carrie
