I am in the process of getting the WPO for Unix/Sparc working with our
DOS LAN in order to gateway to/from SMTP.  I think it will work, but
I haven't gotten everything configured just right yet.  The DOS SMTP
gateway is the best bet.  I don't know of any public domain or
cheap SMTP to MHS gateways.  There is something called xgate that
works with charon and is available from many ftp servers, but I
have no idea if it will work or not.   A lot of people use S-Bridge
for this purpose, but it costs $$$

Good luck

Will
