Organization: Spectrix Microsystems Inc., Toronto, Ontario, Canada Lines: 18 People might be interested: 386/IX from ISC does include sendmail, smail and pathalias. Somewhat out-of-date versions (smail 2.3 last I looked) but certainly better than nothing. There are man-pages for them - but the documentation is a bit scanty on how to use/install them. Eg: you have to run "/usr/lib/install.mail" and answer a few questions. (BTW: if you don't, mail from your 386 box will not give the originating address to neighbors properly) If nothing else you should be able to do some sort of smart-host forwarding. The man pages do allude to acquiring maps from neighbors. Would be nice if ISC include a couple-page document on how to set up e-mail. No, they don't include netnews. Just as well - there's enough floppies in the installation as it is. -- Chris Lewis, Spectrix Microsystems Inc, Phone: (416)-474-1955 UUCP: {uunet!mnetor, utcsri!utzoo, lsuc, yunexus}!spectrix!clewis Moderator of the Ferret Mailing List (ferret-list,ferret-request@spectrix)
