I am looking into options for getting a small company with a network of 5-10 macs connected to the internet and would appreciate any info. One option is to have everyone get dialup accounts (at Netcom, e.g.). One problem is that the charges start adding up over time, and another is that we don't get our own domain name (every gets mail at username@netcom.com). A second option, which is expensive to set up, is to get Microsoft Mail or QuickMail in house, and buy a gateway like StarNine's Mail*Link which will talk to a UUCP feed. Now comes the part that I am fuzzier about. A modification of the first option is to still get dialup accounts, but also to get a domain name and have one of our computers call up and forward mail to the individual dialup accounts. That way, we can appear to have our own domain name to the outside world. Are there any mac uucp programs that will do such a thing? Can the mac version of uupc do it? I saw it on sumex-aim but don't know very much about it. Are there any cheaper alternatives to the second option above that allow users to read their mail over an AppleTalk network and have one computer dial up to a UUCP feed periodically? Finally, does anyone know anything about Eudora? I assume it requires having personal UNIX accounts. How easy is it to get up on both ends - mac and UNIX machine? One requirement for any setup is that people be able to read and write mail offline and dialup to send it, so that mail can be used on business trips without big phone bills. If anyone has any insight into any of this, please let me know. Thanks, Brian Sterling
