OVERVIEW
MHSACTIV is an MHS gateway which will automatically activate
any internetwork hosts that have been deactivated.
Internetwork hosts will be deactivated by MHS if an error occurs
when the MHS Connectivity Manager tries to connect to that
internetwork host. These errors could occur because a bridge
is temporarily down, or because a backup program has disabled
network logins.
Unfortunately, once the host has been deactivated, the MHS
administrator must manually reactivate the host in MHS before
any connections will again occur.
MHSACTIV automates this approach by running as an MHS gateway
process. Each cycle it looks for internetwork hosts that have
been deactivated, and reactivates them.
MHSACTIV is provided for your use "free of charge". The MHSACTIV
program can be freely distibuted in an unmodified format, as long
as it is not distributed in exchange for any form of compensation,
and as long as this documentation file accompanies the executable.
If you like MHSACTIV, we'd like to invite you to check out some of
our network products, which are listed in the section below.
And if you really like MHSACTIV, and you feel so moved that an
irrepressible urge comes over you to send us money, then while that
is certainly not required, we would just hate to ruin that "special
magic of the moment", and would be happy to accept any and all
contributions.
INSTALLING MHSACTIV
1.) Take your MHS server off-line. (Exit the MHS Connectivity Manager).
2.) Run the executable program, MHSACTIV.EXE.
This program will create a gateway named -MHSACT, and perform
all of the necessary setup work.
3.) Restart your MHS server.
If for some reason you wish to remove MHSACTIV from your system,
use the MHS Directory Manager to delete the -MHSACT gateway.
NEW FEATURE
MHSACTIV can now automatically reactivate any deactivated host.
After installing MHSACTIV, go into the MHS Directory Manager,
modify the "-MHSACT" gateway definition to include "ALL" in the
Gateway Commands field.

NETWORK UTILITIES
-----------------
* I-Queue! - Simplifies network printing and print queue management
in the Novell NetWare environment. From within a small memory
resident pop-up (0 to 2-1/2KB), I-Queue! allows users to easily
change NetWare print queues and modify "capture" parameters.
I-Queue! is compatible with Novell's PRINTCON/PRINTDEF and adds
global PRINTCON support for Novell's own utilities.
Queue management capabilities include: delete/reorder print jobs,
move/copy jobs between queues, and hold/delayed printing.
* CastAway! - A better NetWare broadcast message trap. Get NetWare
message notification (e.g., SEND) without your PC locking up until
you press CTRL-ENTER! Get notified of new messages while in graphics
based applications! All in 0 to 1-1/2KB of conventional memory!
* PopIT! - Gain pop-up access to almost ANY program with less than
2-1/2 KB overhead. Network administrators -- access SYSCON,
RCONSOLE, FCONSOLE and all of your favorite network utilities
without leaving your current application.
* OnCall! - A memory resident "Chat" utility for Novell NetWare,
that runs in between 0 and 2-1/2 KB of workstation memory.
Simple, straightforward, and easy to use.
EXPRESSIT! ELECTRONIC MAIL
--------------------------
* ExpressIT! Electronic Mail - The ExpressIT! Electronic Mail product
family includes the following products:
* ExpressIT! - The network version of ExpressIT!, including
the MHS-compatible DOS version, which runs in less than 2KB of
resident memory.
* ExpressIT! Remote - A remote version of ExpressIT! (DOS) customized
for use on stand-alone/remote PCs. Includes Personal MHS and
allows users to send and receive mail with any MHS based
electronic mail system. Includes the ability to run the MHS
Connectivity Manager from within the 2KB TSR without exiting
your current application.
* ExpressIT! Windows Client - An upgrade for the network version
of ExpressIT! offering native support for the Microsoft Windows
environment, and a wealth of additional features.
* ExpressIT! Remote Windows - A remote version of the Windows
version of ExpressIT! customized for use on stand-alone/remote

mail with any MHS based electronic mail system.
A special Windows based MHS configuration utility eliminates the
need to use the MHS Directory Manager.
All versions of ExpressIT! include ExpressIT! Directory Assistance,
facilitating automatic exchange of user directories between ExpressIT!
hosts.
MHS GATEWAYS AND UTILITIES
--------------------------
* MHS Scheduler - An MHS mail agent that provides greater flexibility
in configuring when MHS will connect to a host. On a host-by-host
basis, the MHS administrator can configure different frequencies of
forced connections based on different times of the day, with
separate weekday, weekend, and holiday scheduling possible.
MHS gateways and internetwork connections can also be scheduled.
The companion RunIT! utility simplifies the creation of batch file
gateways...now you can run your tape backup system on your MHS
server.
* PageIT! - An MHS gateway connecting MHS-based electronic mail
systems to full text alphanumeric pagers. Once configured,
sending messages to an alphanumeric pager is as simple as
sending a message from your favorite MHS application.
* ForwardIT! - An MHS mail agent for automatically forwarding
MHS based electronic mail messages. ForwardIT! can forward
(or copy) messages addressed to an MHS address to an alternate
address.
ForwardIT! is most useful in the MHS remote e-mail environment.
By remote, we refer to field workers or business travelers who
operate ExpressIT! Remote, or other MHS compatible remote
software, on a PC or laptop to access their electronic mail
from a distant location. Examples could include a salesperson
between sales calls, a business traveler in a hotel room,
or work-at-home scenarios.
Without ForwardIT!, when mail is sent to a recipient's office
address, MHS does not allow for a remote user to dial into the
network and retrieve mail waiting for their office address. Mail
addressed to this office address can only be picked up at the
office.
In order to send a message to the user's MHS remote, the sender
must assume responsibility for sending a copy of the message to
the remote MHS address.
With ForwardIT!, the user leaves a forwarding address at the
office, and while they're out, all messages will be forwarded,
or copied, to their forwarding address, giving users transparent
access to their electronic mail while away from the office.
This forwarding address can be any valid MHS address, including
addresses via MHS gateways.
* MhsQ! - An MHS gateway interface to NetWare print queues.
Messages can be sent via MHS to a NetWare print queue.
This capability can be useful for MHS remote sites and/or
MHS enabled applications for generating printed output
and/or reports.
Sample applications for MhsQ! include generating work orders to
a printer via MHS.
* MHSNotify! - A TSR which runs on the MHS mail server only, and
automatically notifies recipients of new electronic mail
received from remote MHS sites, or across internetwork
connections. An excellent alternative to MHSALERT for
DaVinci e-mail users! (MHSNotify! is bundled with ExpressIT!)
