   You actually can purchase licenses to the DMA Server.  Vircom charges   
   $500.00 for the key to DMA servers to current customers of Major TCP/IP.   
     If you do not have a license to TCP/IP though, I don't think they'll   
   sell you one.   
      
   The $500.00 includes just a key; no support.
