Gee, that's too bad, I was rather hoping that STARMAIL did this. Maybe I have finally found someone who can explain how all of these AT&T E-mail products work. We have a STARLAN network in our office with a 3B1 running as a DOS server, and which also allows remote-login via terminal emulator (EM-4410 or MSKERMIT) over the STARLAN network. There are 5 AT&T PC-63xx machines running MS DOS also connected to the LAN, and the 3B1 has a modem connection to usenet. I recently purchased a 6386 WGS with Unix/386 which I wish to use to provide the same services as the 3B1, i.e: DOS server, and unix logins via STARLAN. Additionally, I want to be able to send E-mail between the DOS workstations, AND unix accounts, AND uucp to the outside world. I was hoping I could do all of this with the Version 3 DOS Server program for Unix/386, and a copy of STARMAIL for Unix/386. Is this a hopeless pipe-dream? Or, did all of the recent announcements include the software needed for this operation. Where can I get some solid info as to what it is that PMX/Mail, STARMAIL, etc actually do? -- Paul Homchick {allegra | rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc.; One Radnor Station, Suite 300; Radnor, PA 19087
