Q: getting Compass server without iPortal?

Hi again,

i was thinking, can we just run our old Compass server together with our

new iWS?

btw, about iWS, which version should i get? i just checked again, the

one that came in the box that someone ordered recently was 4.0 sp 2.

or is there a downloadable upgrade that goes with the 4.0 sp 2 media

that will upgrade it to 4.1 sp X?

thanks again!
