[comp.sys.mac.comm] Email, MacTerm, Pathworks and Multigate?

ccwilfred@uqvax.cc.uq.oz.au (05/24/91)

Hi,
	We are in the throws of migrating from Alisa software to Pathworks 
for Macintosh.  We are pleased with the file server and print server side 
of things but we have two problems:-

1.  What is the story with Macintosh <--> VMS mail via pathworks for:-

	a.  Ethernet connected macintoshes, and 
	b.  localtalk/Multigate (without Decnet) connected Macintoshes? 

2.  Is it possible to make the tools in the toolbox supplied with 
	Pathworks for the Terminal emulation program to work over 
	localtalk which is linked into the ethernet world via a 
	Multigate which does not support Decnet?  We expected to be 
	able to do this because the Alisa software allowed us to.

	What Mail product does the "net" recommend for use with 
	Pathworks for Macintosh?

We will be releasing a version of Megan (the MultiPort Gateway's code)
that supports DECnet soon.
