assistant: Hello PAUL, on 09-26-96 you wrote to ALL  about NETWARE AND LINUX:
1.  Install David Harris' "Pegasus Mail" (available for DOS and Windows/
Win95) on the workstations, and run the companion Mercury SMTP gateway
on the Novell server. The Mercury gate will do all the translation
to/from SMTP mail, and the Linux box will spool it between the NetWare
server and the Internet.
2. Install Novell's TCP/IP protocol stack on all the workstations
(Novell's TCP/IP stack and the companion Winsock.Dll is freely available
for downloading from Novell as an add-on disk to their latest ODI/VLM 16
bit client kit), and use Netscape or Eudora as the mail client. This
solution requires IP addresses for all the workstations, however, and
has implications such as IP maskerading, subnet registration, etc.

assistant: Hello CHRIS, on 09-27-96 you wrote to ALL  about MHS AND INTERNET EMAIL
VI:
Novell's "First Mail" is a stunned subset of David Harris' freeware
"Pegasus Mail". If you like that mail system, you might as well install
Pegasus Mail and throw First Mail away. If you run Pegasus Mail, you can
also run the companion Mercury Gateway, which translates between Pegasus
Mail and SMTP mail. Although I haven't used any, I believe there are
translators from Pegasus Mail to Waffle, which uses uucp backend
communication.
All the software mentioned above is freely available over the Internet
from the SimTel DOS archives or any mirror site.

assistant: The reason for not logged in connections is where a user needs to attach to a
server to use a service such as an SAA gateway, but does not have to login to
use the service.  Another reason for not logged in connections is that users

In my server exists of a (formatted size of) 1.2 Gigabyte (Connor CFA1080-A)
and a Plus Impulse 210 Megabyte.
Is that what you wanted to know.
I think this proves that Novell CAN run with a low amount of RAM.
And i must even say that the server _IS_ a 386-SX16 Megahertz. and we have 3

NetWare trees.  I've also looked at Connect-2's SMTP Gateway but they
want additional money for each workgroup.  Since this is a large

Are there any other MHS-SMTP solutions out there which will accommodate
multiple NDS trees and a single ISP connection in a WAN environment?
Any comments appreciated.
