-
- + cc:Mail looked pretty good as well, but we are not sure how we are going to
- + serve it to close to 400 Macs. On the DOS side, its easy, we have Novell
-
- We use Novell servers, as they appear as AppleShare File
- Servers, so you have both Mac's and PC's accessing the same post
- office sitting on the Novell server.
-
- + servers. There has been discussion of the cc:Mail channel in PMDF and how
- + to push mail back and forth, that sounds good but a little ruff as far as
- + the particulars of pushing the files back and forth. Ned mentions MIME
- + translation into cc:Mail, but said there were problems with multi-part mail
- + (if I recall correclty). That confuses me since cc:Mail had the ability to
- + have multiple enclosures, or am I missing something??
-
- We are now in the process of configuring up a PC which will
- run PC-NFS to access the VAX running PMDF and IPX to access to Novell
- server concurrently, and using that to push messages backwards and
- forwards automatically. Although we don't actually have it running as
- yet (trying to get a modern PC-NFS) we've faked the rest out and it
- looks like it should all work.
-
- + I wonder if this will divert peoples attention away from fueding??
- + (Sorry, I couldn't resist. I think that we are lucky to have, as
- + someone else pointed out, a vender that is sincerely concerned about
- + there niche product and standards that revolve around it.)
-
- Agreed. Innosoft have done a lot, and their product is miles
- ahead of anything else I've seen, IMHO. Keep up the good work, guys.
-
- Andrew.
