we are installing the AS/400 Ethernet card and TCP/IP software.

it has SMTP, telnet and FTP.

we are running the NCSA telnet stuff on the Novell and will put in a
KA9Q NOS gateway to deal with SMTP mail on the Novell side.

the Novell 3.11 stuff with the TCP built in might be a better solution,
but we don't have the $$$ to upgrade at this point.
