Re: Marshall8e6

No. I first heard about Cymphonix at the edACCESS 2008 conference (
http://www.edaccess.org). And, while they have lots of business customers,
I have found that they have worked very well with me and with other
educational institutions.
I didn't find anything in the configuration or interface that led me to
believe that they do not support educational institutions as well as they
support businesses.
