Yes, exactly. The Standard Edition allows you, the ISP, to include any
software applications that you wish to distribute to your users. However,
you will be responsible for the Licensing those software from their vendors,
for example: Trumpet, Qualcomm, etc.

However, in case of the Bundled edition, every software that is included in
our package is fully functional, distributable and you don't have to pay any
additional fee to any vendor. And as you may have seen in our Home Page
(www.ccsweb.com/inetmgr), we have a special price of $8/Ea. for orders of 500+.

As far as customizing the distribution file to your users, there are many
options, for example: you may replace the default BMP logo to one of your
own, choose the default installation directory for your end-users (i.e.
"C:\MiraNet"), your IP and domain address which InetMgr will plug them in
all the INI files, etc.

BTW, in the real version (not evaluation copy) of InetMgr, it asks you if
you wish to span the Distribution file into multiple disks.

Currently Win 3.1, Beta-testing Win95 (due to release in 3 weeks), and no
plans currently for the Mac (Not enough interest to justify the development
costs).

If you have not downloaded yet, I recommend you that you take a look at it.
The installation for ISP and end-user is very simple. We have timed the
installation of end-user portion, and it is approximately 8 minutes (on
486/66) for all of the software.

Thank you for your questions, we have received similar questions from many
other ISPs also. I will post this to the mailing list, so others can benefit
from it. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.
