My organization is looking into using Charon as a mail gateway between our Novell server and the Unix minicomputers that we are running. We have tested Charon out, and the SMTP mail handling capabilities seem to work very well. One feature that the Charon documentation lists is the ability to "[transfer] print files from Novell print queues to TCP/IP LPD print servers, and [accept] TCP/IP LPR jobs for queueing on Novell print queues." We would very much like to access this capability, as we have many printers that are either connected to our VAX *or* our Novell server, and it would be nice to access all of them from any host. I have looked through the Charon documentation. Although it goes into extensive detail about the mail gateway facilities, I have not found anything on how to set up the connections between Unix print queues and Novell printers (and vice versa). Can anyone provide me with pointers and/or details on how to set up Charon, NetWare, and Unix to allow printing across the platforms? Right now I am stumped. Thanks for any help that you can provide me with. It is much appreciated. .oO Chris Oo. Christopher Lishka 608-262-4485 It is not safe out here.

We have been looking for a gateway for mail between a Novell Network and a Unix network. What is Charon and who makes it? This sounds like a solution that may work for us. Thank you for any help. Martin Van Ryswyk ocs.netcom.com 192.100.81.100

Unfortunately the documentation is ahead of the software at this stage. It is intended that Charon will provide this feature, but it is not available in the current release. (3.01) Charon is provided by Clarkson. It is used by Pegasus Mail as an SMTP gateway. But we did not write it and do not have control of the source. For more information regarding upcoming releases you may wish to contact Clarkson.

Pegasus Mail is a mail program for Novell Netware. Pegasus Mail v2 uses Charon to provide full internet mail facilities. Charon was written by Clarkson University. Pegasus Mail is by David Harris of Otago University. Charon is available for FTP from clarkson.edu. You can FTP Pegasus mail from splicer.cba.hawaii.edu or mibsrv.mib.eng.ua.edu We use Pegasus and Charon to provide mail between Novell, VMS, Ultrix and Unix. So it should work for you. Email me if you need more info Cheers KLox 0 00 Martin Cox 0000 Computing Services Centre E-mail klox@otago.ac.nz 00 University of Otago Tel +64 3 479 8531 Dunedin Fax +64 3 479 8577 000 New Zealand 000 000 I Am A Bear Of Very Little Brain, And Long Words Bother Me 000

However, the previous version (I forget the number) is an LPD/LPR gateway. Both versions are written by and available from Clarkson University (should be available on sun.soe.clarson.edu or grape.ecs.clarkson.edu, but my route to that part of the net seems to be down at the moment). The next version of Charon is supposed to provide both the SMTP _and_ LPD/LPR gateways in a single product. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Medici/SysProg3 * RUCS/User Services * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------
