It is my understanding that, since Allbase is no longer bundled with FOS on
the new systems, it has to be purchased separately. A quick look into the HP
e3000 price list for February yields user-based options for Allbase, P/N
30368B. What is not very clear in my mind is that it also yields tier-based
options.

I'm thinking of 30368B as an example. There might be others, though I'm not
aware of any at this moment.
