Hullo!

Great zarkyons! Now I'm really in need of help.

I have this token ring network with 100 PC:s (soon to be 200), all
running IBM OS/2 1.3. They currently use the Communications Manager
to do APPC to a mainframe. Now I have to get an UNIX machine connected
to the network, and find some way to do e-mail and (automatic, script-driven)
file transfers between the two universes. As bying TCP/IP software for all
the PC:s gets to be pretty expensive, I think of that as a last resort, as
well as being worried about co-existance problems with the current
applications. Any ideas for something running on top of Communications
Manager? How about easy-to-use e-mail software for OS/2?

Please excuse the unfocused newsgroup distribution, but I couldn't decide
between comp.mail.os2.unix, comp.mail.unix.os2, comp.unix.mail.os2 and
comp.os2.mail.unix... :-)
So, to avoid cluttering up the net, please reply by e-mail, and I will
summarize to the appropriate groups, whatever they will be...

    Thanks in advance,

        Julf
