You may want to look at a package called TEAMATE from MMB. It seems to be
a versatile package. From what I understand they also have a number you
can dial-in and try out the package on. Their address and the name of
the folks I have spoken with are:

		Roger Morrell or Bob Baskerville

		MMB Development Corporation
		1021 North Sepulveda Blvd.
		Suite K
		Manahattan Beach, CA 90266

		(213) 545-1455

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with MMB.... I just looked at
the product for much of the same reasons the original poster mentioned.
Also, my wife is currently developing a system around TEAMATE and is
a satisfied user.
