The Objective ------------- Email and file transfers between Novell networks and an IBM mainframe. Multiple (about 100), geographically distant sites with a Novell network (version 2.x) and an AS/400 need to communicate with an IBM mainframe. The AS/400s and mainframe are connected via a satellite link. (Novell & AS/400)----satellite----| | (Novell & AS/400)----satellite----| |- IBM mainframe (Novell & AS/400)----satellite----| Cc:Mail is used on the Novell networks. The AS/400s are plain-vanilla (no Office Vision) and do not currently have any networking capability. Needed: a means to perform file and email transfers between the Novell networks and the IBM mainframe using the AS/400<->mainframe link. What are the options (and the cost)? Thank you. -- CAP Gemini America Computer Software Consulting 10150 W. National Ave., Suite 200 (414) 546-4644 Milwaukee, WI 53227
