Thanks for the info Doc!
Do you (or anyone else) have any other info about astraweb? Thinking
about switching (or adding) but want a little more info if at all
possible:
1) Other than bad posting security, how's the d/l security?
2) Overall, how would asta rank compared with the others? (the price
looks good, but what about retention, group availablily, security,
speed, customer service, etc.?) (Does anyone actually use astra - or
used it in the past- that could give some additional info here?)
Thanks to you or anyone else who can add a little bit more!
