I have recently heard a nasty rumor:  That CE's Quickmail will not operate
as a gateway on an SE30 (ethernet).  Is this true?

Situation:  I am planning to install a "Starter Lan" for a VC here that had
a few Macs (about 6-7) on Ethernet and a file server and a mail server.
I was going to use AppleShare and Quickmail for software and a pair of
SE30's to run it on.  I know, you don't need a dedicated server for QM but
I want to connect up to SMTP and some other Quickmail sites.  This will
all be done via Ethernet with a Fastpath to talk to the Lasers.  However,
somebody from another department put a big red circle on my design and said,
"Quickmail gateway will lock up on a EtherTalk SE30."  Has anyone had this
problem?  I can't believe CE would let this continue for any length of time.

Sorry for the cross post, but I need some answers.
