I would like to use my Xenix system as a mail and news server for PCs and Macs in my group. Has anyone compiled nntp or POP2 or POP3 for Xenix386? Does the code have to be site specific or can the binaries be transferred and used on other Xenix386 systems? I have seen the sources for nntp in the uunet archives, but I haven't found the source for the post office servers. Can anyone recommend where I might find these sources? Thanks, Lance lance@nsi.com uunet!embassy!lance

I know it has a pop server; but, I have never played with it. I just use the local and uucp channels. Also, the mh distribution has a pop interface. I would recommend mmdf for a mail server. I can't help with the news. I don't know enough about news to comment. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terry Klarich <klarich@d.cs.okstate.edu> n5hts

It works a lot like a listserv on bitnet in functionality. I would have a go at configuring mmdf on SCO UNIX first before moving to another piece of software. As for the news, I have just received a copy of nntp but have not looked at it yet. Comments forthwith when I have had a chance to look in the next couple of days -- _--_|\ Brian Evans Internet: bevans@tanus.oz.au / \ P.O Box 232 Compu$erve: 72500,1355 | Fax: +61 3 412-1551 \_.--._/ Avondale Heights, 3034 VoiceMail: +61 3 506-1629 v Victoria, Australia
