We've found there are a couple of solutions if your Novell net and SMTP net
are in the same physical location.  You can buy a PC and put two network
cards in it; one connected to Netware, the other to TCP/SMTP.  There is
some software that will handle the MHS <-> SMTP protocol/file format
conversions from a couple of vendors. E-mail me for more info.

I've been looking for a solution that will handle remote nets; i.e. the
Novell net in one city, and the TCP/IP net in another city.  Does anyone
know of any solution to this problem?
