I stumbled upon this:

http://www.linuxcanada.com/quasar.shtml

Not cheap if you need more multi-user or PoS.  For the latter, it's likely 
affordable.  One of the things I like about both Postbooks and Compiere is 
the PostgreSQL backend.  Both are therefore network aware by design.

Beggars can't be choosers, though.

Actually, I'd be quite happy to buy another accounting solution _if_ the terms 
were honest.  If Intuit specified their full racket up front, I'd imagine 
they'd no longer be in business, their dried carcass quite calcified by this 
date in time.

For what we've paid over the years we could have the shiny things enterprise 
edition of quasar by now.

Oh, FAQ says it is no longer Open Source (tm).  I can live with that.  (They 
have packages for many, many Linux distributions it seems.)
