Stupid Newbie Question about FileMaker Pro

I'm doing some research for our non-profit ISP and found out about Optigold. Looks great. One thing. Docs mention Filemaker Pro Server 5.x. Filemaker's site has only current stuff 8.x and there is only Filemaker Pro 8 or Filemaker Server 8. No Filemaker Pro Server. Is this $1000 server required for Optigold to work?

Thanks.

 

As far as I can tell, the computer I set Optigold ISP up on the other day does not have Filemaker installed on it. I admit that my use of Optigold ISP has been minimal at present - only just set up invoice format, products, pricing, and entered all the customers - but it is currently functioning.
I am not an expert by any means, so please don't put too much into what I say.
Try DLing and running the Optigold ISP software and see how it works for you. Nothing lost apart from time since it's free for up to 100 customers.

Thanks for giving me your personal story. That is more helpful then the other replies that I've gotten, which equal to none! You would think that out of so many views, at least somebody would be able to tell me "Nope, you don't need it, it's only for..." or "Yeah, you gotta have it for..." or something!

Anyhow, thanks again. Are you using it successfully to communicate with a radius server?

 

No, and I doubt we will be using that functionality. We tend to like doing things by hand and are small enough that it's not a problem. Additionally, we don't really do dial-up.
Glad to be of some use.
