- We are running WordPerfect Office 3.0 and Mail on a Novell 3.11 Lan connected
- via a Hub to an Ethernet backbone on which we also have a VAX
- running All-in-1 v2.4 under VMS 5.5 and with PMDF v4.0.
-
- We will soon have installed a PC with an x400 gateway to allow sending X400
- mail from the WordPerfect Office mail environment via the Ethernet to All-in-1
- accounts on the VAX.
-
- We also have an Internet connection. We can send mail from All-in-1 accounts
- to the Internet community and receive replies to All-in-1 accounts.
-
- We would like to send mail from WordPerfect Office using the X400 connection
- to and from Internet using PMDF directly. IS THERE A WAY TO DO THIS?
- We have looked in the PMDF manual and are not sure if it can do this.
- Otherwise we have to force the WP Office users to logon to All-in-1 in order to
- send and receive Internet mail which is not our preferred direction for
- our large Novell/WP Office networks where we want all mail to be seamless.
-
- Alternatively, is there ANY OTHER WAY we can use X400 to talk to and from
- Internet to allow our users to remain in the safe haven of their WordPerfect
- Office Mail screens while sending and receiving messages over Internet.
-
- I would appreciate any comments on this quickly (even the "God, I hate
- WP Office and Novell LANs" variety) as I have managers breathing down my
- neck (with flames, fire and brimstone....).
