I'm currently running  SCO Open Server >(From Compaq) Enterprise System on a 
Compaq >Proliant 2000. The system is serving as out WEB site 
(www.ncsc.dni.us) and smart email host using "mmdf".

My goal is to upgrade this system with current, top of the line, Internet 
software.  Along with a more main stream Mailer, I would like to be able to 
setup a "Listserve".  Right now, I'm having to maintain all this manually. 
I'm also interested in POP3 capabilities, a News Feed, and a current Web 
Server such as Apache or Netscape.

The choices I'm considering are: replacing the current operating system with 
either Windows NT or BSDI or sticking with SCO and upgrading the Internet 
related software.  I'm concerned about SCO's lack of market presence 
regarding the Internet.  Everyone seems to be using SUN, BSDI, NT or Linux.  

Your unbiased opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
