- I am looking for a way to interface the mail facility of IBM's
- OfficeVision to a NCR Tower (model 650, Unix V3.2) by SNADS.
-
- Formerly, we had DISOSS running and I interfaced that e-mail
- through a DISOSS's->RAPID->Tower by SNA/RJE trick and from there
- I distributed the mail to the other Unix platforms overhere and
- vice versa by a RAPID/Internet mail interface.
-
- Now, DISOSS has been replaced by the OfficeVision disaster and
- the former trick doesn't work anymore, since OfficeVision has
- no JCL hooks in it to manipulate it's mailfiles.
- The only way to make a connection (apart from X400, which I don't
- prefer) is by making a connection on SNADS level. This way we
- would be able to fully control the routing to and from the host system.
- In topology, SNADS would communicate with OfficePath on the host.
-
- SNADS should be a package (in fact it's nothing more than a protocol)
- that runs on top of LU6.2. I know LU 6.2 is supported on the Tower
- platform, but I'm not sure about any SNADS support. It would be nice,
- since lots of host software communicates through SNADS.
-
- PLease respond by mail for fast service. Thanks in advance,
-
- Dick.
