ULTIMA@UNC.BITNET (Paul Jones) (08/02/88)
We, at UNC ACS, have purchased Stanford's SU Mac/Ip. We love the FTP interface and the telnet features, but we've got trouble with POP. As I understand it there are three (3) flavors of POP (POP, revised POP, and POP2). IBM and SUN have offered a free POP2 server (both of which we have) that runs as a daemon. SU Mac/Ip however does not speak POP2, but "revised POP". I understand that Rand Mail Handler from Irvine talks "revised POP" but our CS department would rather not install such a big chunk of code as MH (no matter how wonderful it may be) when a amall daemon will do the job. Does anyone know: 1) the RFC numbers of the various POPs, 2) where a "revised POP" daemon might be found, 3) a way to extract the "revised POP" portion of MH and run it as a daemon. 4) If Stanford plans to ever support POP2. If we can at least get the RFC we can probably hack the POP2 daemon to speak "revised POP". Thanks for all comments (in advance of course).. . QUIT
