We are currently investigating going to a Mac-based POP3 mail server for our Macs. They are connected to a campus-wide ethernet via direct connections and Gatorboxes. We don't really have access to a Unix-based host right now, so we're looking at a Mac-only solution. We would like to probably use something like Eudora at the client-end, though other systems are welcome as well. I've heard Stanford has a server called MacMH, but I don't know how to contact them. What are your experiences with this and other servers? Has anybody ported the PD servers for Unix to A/UX, and how do they run? Thanks. Mike Paisley paisley@mte.ncsu.edu paisley@NCSUMTE.BITNET

I've got popper (the POP mail server), rn (network news) with NNTP, of course internet and bitnet mail, X Windows, gcc and g++ compilers, InterViews X-WIndow library, CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package,including unix-based Appleshare fileserver and laserwriter server), and just about any other unix goodies that I've tried running fine. I intend to use my office Mac2ci with large disk as a POP server temporarily for a department of 300-400 people. Mail is no big drain on a CPU or disk so I don't forsee any real problems (call me in a couple months). For the price of a Mac2ci you can also buy a faster unix box (Sun) that might act as a better long-term Mac file server + mail post office + network news station + unix program box. Or you can probably do this all okay on a Mac 2si. A/UX takes someone with time and interest to set up all the above software, but any competent unix hacker should be able to deal with it. -- Don -- Don Gilbert gilbertd@cricket.bio.indiana.edu biocomputing office, biology dept., indiana univ., bloomington, in 47405
