WP Office to AT&T gateway

We have WP Office 4.0 running on a Novell network.  we need to establish
an Email gateway to AT&T Mail (Easylink services).  The one solution that
our AT&T rep gave us is Notework Corp.'s A-Gate.  This is Novell MHS based
and is supposed to run on a dedicated PC on our network.  This software is
priced per addressable person: $399 for a 10 user pack, $1499 for a 50 user
pack, and around $7000 for a 250 user pack.

Does anyone have experience with this method of accessing AT&T mail?
Is there another asynchronous (dialup) solution available?

I could always send text email thru the Internet, but that won't support
binary files.

Notework does make an MHS<->AT&T gateway; I don't know if it specifically
connects to EasyLink or not.

AT&T provides a gateway between EasyLink and MHS; call AT&T at 800-242-6005
or fax them at 201-331-4516.  You still need NetWare Global MHS between the
two gateways (whichever AT&T gateway you get) to connect them.

WordPerfect used to havea direct EasyLink gateway for there Office
3.1 product, phone WP and find out when this is coming out in WPO4
mode. If it'll be a while you can still use the 3.1 gateway from
office 4.

With respect to " Notework Corp.'s A-Gate." I've set it up in via
MHS to office 3.1 (They didn't know about the easylink WPO gateway)
and it worked fine, is the number of mailboxes on the AT&T side or
the MHS side? As the AT&T method of gatewaying to a LAN is via 1
mailbox you may only need a small user liceince?

Personally if you can get a direct gateway this is far easier to
live with than having to mainatin a MHS machine as well, Global MHS
may chnage this with everything running nicly in your server.

WP Office 4.0 has a method to connect to MCI mail (I guess MCI
set up a gateway on their end so Office 4.0 users won't have to have a
separate gateways and set it all up).  This might also be the way to
connect to AT&T Mail but I'd call WP and see how they connect to it
via Office 4.0.
