[comp.protocols.appletalk] QuickMail PC on 3Com cards

dank@skat.usc.edu (Dan King) (08/02/90)

This is a question that I don't think has been asked before (lucky me):

We're running QuickMail on a bunch of Macs (50ish) on about four
LocalTalk segments joined to a building EtherNet via Apple Software
routers, a FastPath, and a GatorBox.  Our inhouse mail system is
QuickMail.

Also in the building (on the EtherNet) are a bunch of PCs.  These all
have 3Com ethernet cards (3c501s, I believe) and generally use a 3Com
mail system.  What we'd like to do is convert these PC heretics Mac
bigots and get them to use QuickMail, even if it's only on a PC (:-).
We've ordered QuickMail PC (actually, it's already here), but I don't
think we have AppleTalk drivers for the 3Com cards.  Or do we even
need them?  What do we need?

Has anyone done this before?  Is it possible?  Is it easy?  Any help
would be appreciated.
