( My apologies if this is a FAQ, or the wrong newsgroup, etc) Is anyone out there using Z-mail in an environment of Suns, Vaxen, and tty terminals? The reason I am asking is twofold: 1) Our department contains a mix of the above hardware, in addition to terminal emulation software on Mac and PC's (when users dial in from home). 2) It's hard to get folks to use a full-featured GUI point-and-click mailer on their workstations (e.g. Sun's Mailtool) and then have them switch gears (and mailers) when they dial in from home on a text-based terminal. [ OK, so it's THREEfold....] 3) Both UnixWorld and the Sun Observer think Z-mail is the best thing since the Smart Clapper(tm). So, will Z-mail really live up to all it's promises of interoperability and portablitily among GUI's and terminal types? Or are my users stuck with VMS mail on the Vax, Quickmail on the Mac, Mailtool and or MM on the Sun, etc ,etc, etc...
