Well, a commercial site has different pricing...... A 10 user license is about $1000. A 100 user license is about $5000. A 200 user license is about $7000 A site license is $20,000 (not $2000). Call Cayman (617) 494-1999 for more info. Don't take my word on it. The license determines how many Mac users can SEND mail to the SMTP gateway. Anyone can receive mail from SMTP address. You should know that some characters that exist in a Mac mailname are translated in a funky manner. For instance, the address "Barnett, Bruce" on a Microsoft Mail server is converted into "Barnett#m#_Bruce@mac" on the Unix side. If you have this package, you can "tunnel" Mac mail with enclosures to other companies with the same package and the enclosures are still there. That is, someone using this package could send an enclosure from their Mac to my Mac address: barnett@macgw1.crd.ge.com. It could be used to connect to companies with MS mail that prefer not to connect their appletalk networks together. For instance, if Apple had this product, they could mail me Hypercard 2.0! :-) There is still a Unix limitation of maximum mail message size. Maybe Hypercard 2.0 would be too big. They would have to compress it, and I dare not mention any format 'cause the flames would start again. Sigh... -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
