Well, after collecting several replys to my earlier posting,
I have confirmed what I had already suspected. Yes it is possible
to get mail from Wang VS to Unix and back again, no it is not
easy, elegant or even reliable. The suggestion that have
been tried before where,
(a) routing through bitnet (with the help of some home grown software) and
(b) the use of a RJE system (and some more home grown software).
Help is on the way, it seems that Wang will be releasing a gateway
package. I phoned my local Wang office (or as local as I can get in
the middle of Sask.) and was told it will be available in 3 to 4 weeks.
They had no information on what it would gate way to, but with a
bit of luck and the blessing of the net gods (any one want to sacrifice
a kitchen appliance or two) it should do the trick.
