- Please feel free to flame me if this is the FAQ I think it is :-)
-
- We have a network of UNIX servers. These run email, news etc. perfectly
- happily. We now have more and more DOS users coming on-line. Until now
- we have been happy for them to have an account on a UNIX host and read
- mail via a windows based emulator. It has now been decided that it
- would be a better idea if they could read mail from their local DOS server
- (be it OS2 or Novell).
-
- The question is, what is the *easiest* (i.e. roughly equal parts cost
- and ergonomics) way to achieve this? For example, do we setup a Novell
- to UNIX gateway or OS2 to UNIX etc. etc.
-
- I would appreciate it if somebody could list the available options and/or
- tell me where to look for best advice.
-
- Please mail me directly and I will summarize responses...
-
- Many thanks inadvance,
-
