Here at work, we have a LAN containing MAC II's, MS-DOS 386 boxes, and an IBM AS/400. I've been toying with the idea of somehow getting the three to talk to one another so that users on each platform can exchange files and email. Is there a reay made program which can handle this that runs on all 3 platforms? Also, if the program can handle Japanese characters it would be ideal, but this is not a "written in stone" requirement. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I've gotten a few replies about mixing email on VMS/MacOS/MD-DOS. While some people were somewhat enthusiastic, the vast majority of replies said that there really is no user-friendly alternative. I've seen Microsoft Mail in action and it seems the best option for a PC. Is there any way, short of being a Microsoft employee, of getting the format of the messages and writing a small custom program to deal with it on the AS/400 side? I'm confused. :-) Any information from someone experienced in setting up an email system would be greatly appreciated. Hehe, I'm actually doing this as a favor to our systems department since I'm "supposed" to be a financial analyst. :-) Cheers, Chris ------------------------------+--------------------------- Chris Mauritz |Show me the way to the cmm1@cunixa.cc.columbia.edu |next whiskey bar... mpoint%cmm1@uu.psi.com |-The Doors-
