Let's start with a massive disclaimer: the product I'm about to recommend is not only sold by my employer, it's written, maintained, and supported by my group. AT&T Mail PMX/STARMail is one of the e-mail products AT&T sells for MS-DOS PCs. It can tie together PCs with a DOS server running StarLAN, 3 Com, PC Network, and . . . um, at least one other LAN, but I can't remember which one off hand. We also sell versions for a Novell server, or a 3B2 or 6386 UNIX(R) server. It can also tie LANs together, and tie LANs to the AT&T Mail service and UNIX-based systems. The STARMail server can talk over an async line, using a simple protocol called DDCP. (Any relation to UUCP is greatly limited by available memory! Sorry, it didn't fit.) We offer PMX/STARGate, DDCP software for 3B2s and 6386s running UNIX System V; it's not a separate product, just ask for it when you order PMX/STARMail. If your UNIX based system isn't a 3B2 or a 6386 (other 386's are complicated; send e-mail and I'll explain), PMX/STARMail will still be able to exchange e-mail with the AT&T Mail service, and the service can talk to any system that knows UUCP. To order PMX/STARMail, to register a UNIX-based system with AT&T Mail, or for more information, please call the AT&T Mail Customer Assistance Center, 1-800-MAIL-672. (There's a non-800 number, but I don't have it handy, sorry.) > Sincerely Jonas, jonas@lkbpyr.lkb.se Paul S. R.
