[This is being posted for a colleague...] I'm interested in an E-mail / BB system which will provide e-mail access to off-net Mac users with a standard Mac/Human interface but also support people with pc's. We have a Mac AppleShare which also runs Carbon Copy - so it can be locked away. I've thought of QuickMail. Could that co-exist on the Server Mac & receive calls via a Modem? Can / Should a networked Modem be used or the spare serial port? Are the QMail server protocols complex for the pc coming with procomm or such like? I could use RR or White Knight on another Mac, perhaps running in Multifinder, for pc dial-in but think it would be 1) a waste of a Mac 2) not robust. Anyone experience of QMail or rivals in such a mode? Thanks, Phil Edwards Molecular Endocrinology, UC & Middlesex School of Medicine.
