If I had read my :-) PC-NFS manual it describes a product called PC-NFS LifeLine which :-) is exactly what I was asking for. So that it wasn't a complete loss :-) I'll change my query to: :-) :-) Has anybody used PC-NFS LifeLine? What do you think of it? :-) Also how much does it cost if we already have PC-NFS 3.0.1? :-) :-) Thanks for your help, :-) -- :-) Dr. Roberto Togneri :-) Dept. of EE Engineering EMAIL: robert@swanee.ee.uwa.oz.au :-) The University of Western Australia INTERNET: robert@zeus.ee.uwa.oz.au We use PC-NFS Lifeline here and have no major problems with it. The only thing that is strange is that Lifeline Mail puts the retrieved mail spool files in <%NFSDRIVE%>/nfsmail/ which makes it a little trouble to retrive read mail for follow-ups from the unix side. We define %NFSDRIVE% as a logical (net) drive which allows us to access read mail from the UNIX terminals. It also creates a ".ndx" file for each folder for some reason? I'm going to take a look at some other PC-UNIX mail utility programs (pcmail is one I can think of) for comparison. One nice thing about the Lifeline product is it's relative low cost ($125) and the back-up utility that tar's your pc files (hard disk or logical drives) to tape or whatever. -- CADD Drafting Staff UUCP:...gatech!uflorida!unf7!sjrpp!asbuilt St. Johns River Power Park -------- Technical Services Deptartment Jacksonville, FL 32226 PHONE:(904)751-7835
