The bad news is NetWare's provided mail system is the 2nd worst PC mail system in my life (The worst is the new one they recommend, "The Uncoorinator", based on Novell's MHS (which has nothing to do with the X.400 MHS). The good news is NetWare supports DOS applications, including EMail systems. At Proteon, they've deloped a mail gateway between the PC Mail system "cc: mail" and SMTP-based mailers over TCP/IP. Then the NSF took over the code and made significant changes to increase its usefulness and provide a good user interface. ********* THE GATEWAY IS FREE!!! ******** Call Flip Whalen at 415 321-0430 (PCC/Systems), for more information. Note you'll need to buy cc:Mail for your LAN, which is an excellent product. There are products (Wollongong, FTP Software) to allow you to use your Ethernet adapter for both TCP/IP and Novell. I'm beta testing Wollongong's new TCP/IP GW that works with Novell or IBM NetBios network stations. This operates off a dedicated workstation and supports SMTP with a simple user interface. > I really don't want there to be another isolated E-mail system springing up in the corners here... You no longer have to. --todd booth / ucla data communications ArpaNet todd@seas.ucla.EDU / BitNet csdctgb@uclamvs.bitnet UUCP {ihnp4,ucbvax}!ucla-cs!todd / 213 825-1933 --todd
