Most of the support for doing this is in the code, but it currently works inefficiently. I hope to go back and try to fix this up in the fall, but for now, the answer from most people who've tried it seems to be that it works, but wastes too many cycles to be practical. With luck, that will change this fall. -- Nathaniel

Hello. Thanks for the replies concerning my message. However, upon further reflection, I think I need to send more information about our configuration. The things are set up now, we don't have an internet connection. We dial up to uunet.uu.net for our outside mail, and dial up to a machine called "ole" to get our external bboard messages. The mail from uunet (as well as all internal mail) gets appended to a file on the user's home machine called "/usr/spool/mail/<user_id>". The bboard messages get parcelled out to the directory structure described in my first post on the machine connected to the modem. Given all of the above, I guess my first question should have been: Is it possible to use the AMS under this configuration? If not, what do we need to change? Thanks for any info, -lipp (sgihbtn!lipp@uunet.uu.net)
