My boss recently tasked me with locating the *optimal* package that would
provide the following functionality to our customers on a dial-up basis:
- Telnet
- FTP
- Mail reader service (a la POP, PCMAIL, IMAP)
- News reader
I realize that Telnet and FTP are no problem through dial-up; it is more of
a concern for the other two. We want to run this 'package' over either SLIP
or preferably a class 6 packet driver thus not neccesitating the use of a
dedicated on-site server.
The customers machines are DOS machines, which precludes a wide variety of
choices.
If there is anyone out there who has had to solve a similar problem
or you think you have the answer (even if you sell the answer) please drop
me a note. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I should warn you that I
am rather new to networking, thus I may appear to be somewhat lacking in
brain cells).
You can get me at the E-mail address below. If there is lots of interest,
I will be happy to summarize for the net.
Good Day, Eh
Mark
