Re: The FirstClass iPhone Application

I would imagine it was pretty intensive on bandwidth. It could be the same
sort of issue with AT&T and Apple that the SlingBox app ran into - and
forcing it to go Wifi only. Or - it could conflict with the functionality of
the Mail app on the iPhone. Not saying those reasons make sense, but could
be the hang-up.

I haven't administrated FirstClass systems in years, but ran quite a few
ranging from BBSes (remember those?) to small business servers starting from
around '93 to '02.
