[comp.dcom.lans] Netware/NFS E-mail question

wasilko@netcom.UUCP (Jeff Wasilko) (09/15/89)

We are looking for an economically-feasible connectivity solution to
the following problem:

(N.B., you purists: Unfortunately, we cannot attack the problem by
upgrading ($$$) or homogenizing ($$$$) the system.)

Scenario:

Framework III Lan on a Novell network (with 3 file servers) running
Netware/68 version 2.01a. The FWIII email features are used by all
departments on the Novell system.

Sun workstations running NFS.

Goal:

Allow the 2 systems to communicate via a gateway (e.g. one of the Novell
fileservers) without abandoning the FWIII email (politics, wot!). That is,
provide a window into the FWIII email system from NFS workstations.

Perhaps it is worth noting that we have also set up an in-house BBS on the
Novell system. We are also working toward 2-way communications between the
BBS and FWIII email. The BBS software is PCBoard.

Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated. We will report back 
on the results.
