Hi, I am investigating a number of different options to send mail between Unix hosts and a Novell system. i am unfamiliar with Novell, but as I understand things, Novell uses something called MHS to transport mail to the various servers. Are there any MHS to SMTP gateways that are available to run on either the unix or the Novell server? Secondly, are there any addressing considerations that will cause us difficulty? Actually, any horror stories will be fine. Oh, the application on Novell is called DaVinchi, if this means anything. Thanks Larry Rogers lrogers.dt.navy.mil

You can buy a PC and put two network cards in it; one connected to Netware, the other to TCP/SMTP. There is some software that will handle the MHS <-> SMTP protocol/file format conversions from a couple of vendors. E-mail me for more info. I've been looking for a solution that will handle remote nets; i.e. the Novell net in one city, and the TCP/IP net in another city. Does anyone know of any solution to this problem? matt -- Matthew Reedy UUCP: uunet!iquery!matt Programmed Intelligence Corp.

I don't know about MHS to SMTP gateways, but there is an Interlan gateway (Micom/Interlan) which runs a variation of tcp/ip. Not only can you use that connection for mail, but also for terminal emulation, etc. The interlan board is essentially a glorified ethernet card with some specifically tcp/ip code. This comes with tcp/ip software which runs on a Novell server. My recollection is that it must run as a server, and not as a bridge. Brian -- Brian D.

I am using a beta version of a product called S-Bridge from CMS (Computer Mail Services). S-Bridge runs on the MHS side. If you deside to use this prepare for a learning curve of MHS. > Secondly, are there any addressing > considerations that will cause us difficulty? Not serious ones. I am having trouble with replies returning from the BITNET world but I think that is just a lack of an ip host not being registered.... Let me know if I can answer any other questions. Have Fun!!!
