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 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. Is their anyone there who has had to solve a similar problem and can share their experiences and/or solutions. I will be happy to summarize for the net. Any help would be greatly appreciated (I should warn you that I am rather new to networking, my background being Naval Command and Control, thus I may appear to be somewhat lacking in brain cells). You can get me at the E-mail address below.
