Radio as Frontier

[Brian V Hughes]

I would thing you could definitely save money. If you don't need 
mainResponder and you don't need to host Manila sites, you kind of 
don't need Frontier. Radio can do pretty much everything else. You'll 
need to hear from someone else on this, but I don't think Radio can act 
as an AppleEvent server. I believe it does the client stuff just fine, 
but I'm not positive.
