You can't covert Ethernet[TM] to ArcNET[TM]. If you're running NetWare[TM]
3.11 then you can put an Ethernet[TM] card in the server and configure it
to do internal TCP/IP bridging, thereby allowing the ArcNET[TM] users to
access the SCO[TM] Unix[TM] host via a telnet program or other TCP/IP 
functions.

If you're running NetWare[TM] 2.x or earlier, I don't know of any way
other than replacing the ArcNET[TM] with Ethernet[TM].

cc:Mail[TM] has available a SMTP gateway, but you'll find that an
inquiry in comp.sys.novell will get many recommendations that you
dump cc:Mail[TM] and replace it with Pegasus Mail, which is free,
works better, and has available a SMTP gateway that is also free. 
(The one from cc:Mail[TM] is about $2500.) This is what we did here.

(Hmmmm.... I think I won't bother with the [TM]s any more. There's 
just too many of them....  :-) )
