At the conclusion of this article there is information on locating, downloading, and unarchieving the necessary files for completion of the intranet. It is suggested that you read through this article entirely before starting to build your intranet. This intranet uses Quid Pro Quo to provide web services, Eudora Internet Mail Server as the E-mail server and Macjordomo as the mailing list software. Of the three, only Macjordomo needs to use the services of another server to work. It uses the Eudora Internet Mail Server to handle the task of sending and receiving E-mail.
Users send the list server E-mail messages to control their configuration options.
On System 7.1, Quid Pro Quo web server needs Apple's thread manager installed to work. This software is built into Mac OS 7.5 and greater. For younger children and less experienced older users this can create problems. These can be solved by setting the browser software to start at the intranet home page and using nicknames with the E-mail client software. As users become accustomed to using your intranet, these concerns will become less of an issue.
