We should be starting this Saturday, give a shout if you're interested Dathalas. You can read about the Factasy Grounds features and pricing at
www.fantasygrounds.com. I think the pricing is $24 for the Lite license (players version) and $40 for the Full license (you can DM).

Azhrei - I like the free options out there (especially Maptools) but I find FG is better for me for a few reasons. First - (especially in the beginnning), FG was supported by 3rd party publishers which meant I didnt have to spend time as a DM creating onlines versions of a module I wanted to run. Second, FG appeared to me to be more stable than other online options...nothing kills a gaming group quicker than frequent crashes. Results may vary, but I've have better results with FG. Finally, when starting with d&d 3.0 and 3.5, the ruleset was integrated into the program which sped the online game up greatly. Online gaming is slow enuff...this time save was a big selling point for me. The 4.0 ruleset thats now available is even more functional. I've got a monster manual module that drops enemy in any battle quickly, the initiative tracker now links to the character sheet, further speeding things along and the charcater sheet is full featured allowing a description of the power you're using and auto die rolling. I think Maptools and the other free options out there can do many of the same things, but they seemed to require alot more effort to get there.
but you sound like you have experience with both KW and FG2 so I was wondering what you liked about them that would cause you to choose them over a free alternative such as 
Linear Mode
