We are using the "White Pages" Name Server (you can give it another name) that comes with CE Software's QuickMail. The server is an INIT that runs in the background on any Mac. The NameFinder is a small INIT that implements the client side. The user interface for it is built into QuckMail. It works very well. The name server can be set to periodically scan all mail center user lists and update its database automatically. You can also define and add your own fields to the database. Wolfgang N.
