Re: BMC subscription fees

[Tom Williams <twilliam@bbl.usouthal.edu>]

Same for us.  However, our Consortium was able to negotiate an initial
rate even less than the $1,612 figure you mention(we're small).  However,
it was based on FTE.  Otherwise, why did or BMC rep ask us all to submit
FTE information.
