Right now, the 8650 is on BITNET and Internet. I am having reasonably good luck getting PMDF to run on the 8650. Each of the machines on the cluster will have it's own Internet address and will speak CMU TCP/IP as well as DECNET. At the moment, users of the workstations cannot get BITNET or Internet mail on their workstations, even though the mail is cluster-wide. I want to give the users the opportunity to send, receive, and reply to Internet (and BITNET) mail using their workstations. To do this, I think I must have each machine run PMDF seperately, and have different config files for each node on the cluster. I am confident I can get CMU TCP running on each VAX, but I am not sure how to set up PMDF to do the MAIL part of the equation. Has anyone out there in netland done this already? Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tom Wallis System Manager, Computer Science Dept.
