- Does any know of, can recommend, etc. an email system that runs as a
- native vtam application on MVS/ESA. What we are trying to avoid is an
- application developed under CICS, TSO, with the associated overhead.
- SNMP hooks would be nice but not mandatory.
-
- Legent's TPX offers one such facility, but it is fairly primitive.
- We require the ability to compose, send to one or multiple recipients,
- organize bulletin and bulletin boards for special interests, etc. I
- know most of this functionality is better suited to other platforms,
- but we've got a 'legacy base' (current buzzword) of 3270 users that
- need the same level of communication that we provide on other network
- environments. It would seem this application is best suited as
- part of a multi-session manager in vtam, but, what our limitted exposure
- has indicated, is that these are token efforts, based on transmitting
- screen-oriented data from one user to another. Ideas?
