  Here at Dialogic, we have two networks.  Our UNIX network runs over
ethernet, and our DOS network runs over starlan.  Our problem lies in
sending mail between the two networks.

  Recently we installed Racal/Interlan's Gateway to connect the two
networks.  Now, this works well for file transfer and remote logins,
but their mail software is horrible.  Their SMTP product will send
mail to UNIX, and they have a program that will accept incomming mail
from UNIX and store it in the system mailbox.  Unfortunately, neither
of these is compatable with Novell mail, and Interlan's mail program
is almost unusable.

  I have attempted to install the DOS version of Mush, but I don't
know how to get it to look in the system mailbox.  (The Novell mailbox
is a file named after your userid.  I don't know where to find the
userid.)  I also haven't been able to make it work with smtpmail
instead of uupc.

  Has anyone worked with the Interlan Gateway product and mail?  Does
anyone know of a solution for mailing between UNIX and DOS?  At this
point, I am willing to look at almost any option.  Please mail me your
responses, and I will post a summary to the net.
