Folks,

Can anyone provide me with true-life testimonials regarding the POP
implementation IBM provides with the PC option of FAL 5798?  I'll take
any information anyone cares to pass along since I have no experience
with the product; e.g., does IBM provide have a user interface or
front-end for POP, something akin to MH commands running under UNIX?
Does IBM provide a popd implementation for the host system (UNIX or
VMS)?   I am particularly interested in hearing from anyone who uses
POP on PCs networked over a Token Ring.  I am thinking about using a
UNIX or AIX workstation (maybe a PC/RT or a Sun with a Proteon card) as
a gateway between an Token Ring and Ethernet, and running a POP server
on the workstation.  If anyone has done this or something similar,
please drop me a line directly as I don't regularly monitor any of
these lists.

Thanks in advance,
Bryan Gorman
