12:22 am May 21, 1991 / Is there anyone out there sucessfully running
3Com 3+Open or Microsoft LAN Manager over TCP/IP?  I'm especially
interested if you are internetworking it with routers.  What TCP/IP
implementation are you using?  We already have PC/TCP from FTP Software.
Also, are you using a mail package such as cc:Mail or Microsoft Mail
(formerly Network Courier) instead of or in addition to SMTP or POP?  We
are heavy users of 3Com 3+Share and need to move to something else, for
obvious reasons.
----------
We widely use the TCP/IP stack written by Hewlett-Packard (for obvious
reasons).  It is my understanding (and this of course has to be an
unofficial, personal statement etc.)  that we have licensed the stack to
Microsoft, who plan to include it in DOS LM clients from now on.

Yes, it internets.  HP has the largest private IP network in the world
(we are network 15).  I regularly browse an LM/X drive in Santa Clara,
CA from over here in the UK.

And yes, we use it for mail.  This site manufactures two mail clients:
NewWave Mail and AdvanceMail.  Both are wide-area (today's buzzword is
``enterprise-wide'') mail systems, that talk to servers, either
proprietry (HP3000) or open (HP9000 HP-UX or Intel SCO UnixV or IBM ???
or DEC ???  or...).  The HP catch-all name for this capability is
``NewWave Office''.


Hope This Helps,

richi.
