    Hi,
  We've got got a Token Ring network with 200 computers running either
ms-dos 5.0 or OS/2 2.x with (Dos ) Lan Requester 3.0 and TCP/IP OS/2 1.2.1.
Many people under Dos use CUTCP or Winqvtnet with the Clarckson packet
drivers, and I've found a neat implementation of the POP3 protocol that uses
these packet drivers and Turbo Vision. We would like to generalize the use
of TCP/IP and POP for our mail because we can use our Sun's mailer without
having yet another mail circuit that would only work on the PCs.We've even
found a POP implementation for Mac.
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any implementation of the protocol
under OS/2 :(. So I'd like to use temporarily the dos apps. My question
is : Is there any way to get Lan Req 3.0, TCP/IP 1.2.1 and the packet
drivers work together ? I've vaguely read that Lan Req 3.0 can run a certain
number of Dos network apps, but of course these are mainly IBM's software
(those that use netdev.sys for example).
  Can anyone help me by telling me if it is possible or not and, even
better, if there is a POP3 implemetation under OS/2? Thanks.
