I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this product, but there is a
discussion thread going on Usenet (either comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi
or comp.lang.perl.misc - I can't remember.) about this software crashing a
lot under heavy use. The guesses that have been made so far have centered
around perl not locking the text file used in rotating banners. I would
suggest that anyone considering purchasing this software (or who has
purchased it) track down the Usenet discussion. If I see any more
followups, I'll post more info here.

Cheers,
Jeff
