[comp.mail.misc] PROFS <-> RFC822 gateway?

david@quad1.quad.com (David A. Fox) (02/14/89)

Greetings. 

I know some people that have a large IBM machine(s), and they're running
PROFS on it(them), which apparently provides these people with their 
corporate email system.

They're buying a bunch of sun 4's for their engineering department, 
and they'd like to try to gateway from PROFS to the sun network. 

Does anyone know if this sort of gateway has been done before, and 
if so by whom? Or does anyone knowledgable about PROFS have any 
good ideas regarding whether this is reasonable to do? 

Any leads appreciated....

I hear that AT&T's ATTMAIL service provides gateways/mail exchange with
PROFS.  Their PMX family of software (Private Mail Xchange) also has
mail exchange modules for PROFS and other systems (HP, DEC, etc).  
Although the PMX products run on AT&T 3B's, as one might expect, this
might be a lead.
