I have a LocalTalk network running MS Mail/Quick Mail.
This works fine for sending mail among users on this network.

I also have the Cayman's GatorMail/M and GatorMail/Q.
This works fine for sending mail to users on the internet.

What I don't know how to do it to access the MS Mail (or QuickMail)
'post office' from my mac at home.

I'd like to be able to see If I have mail when I'm *NOT* at my
mac in the office.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way?

Thanks.

We use MS Mail and we have a Shiva Telebridge connected to the LTalk 
network. So when a remote user wants to access MS Mail all that he/she has 
to do is dial in to the Telebridge and get connected to the LTalk. The 
user then has access to not only MS Mail but also to TOPS and all other 
network services like printing and access to Appleshare etc.  One thing we 
learned from this project is that if you do not use a 9600 or higher speed 
modem then things go very sloooowly.
