This may be an inappropriate topic for this list, if so, please redirect me to a more appropriate forum. Does any know of, can recommend, etc. an email system that runs as a native vtam application on MVS/ESA. What we are trying to avoid is an application developed under CICS, TSO, with the associated overhead. SNMP hooks would be nice but not mandatory. Legent's TPX offers one such facility, but it is fairly primitive. We require the ability to compose, send to one or multiple recipients, organize bulletin and bulletin boards for special interests, etc. I know most of this functionality is better suited to other platforms, but we've got a 'legacy base' (current buzzword) of 3270 users that need the same level of communication that we provide on other network environments. It would seem this application is best suited as part of a multi-session manager in vtam, but, what our limitted exposure has indicated, is that these are token efforts, based on transmitting screen-oriented data from one user to another. Ideas? -Kent Cearley -University of Colorado, Boulder

Hi, Check out Fischer International's TAO/EMC**2 product. It runs in many environments on MVS (TSO/CICS and has a VTAM task as well). We run it under TSO/ISPF, but that is by choice (most of our users run TSO, so it is convenient to provide the service there). It supports a decent API, and one way or another you can get mail onto the Internet (we wrote our own program that interfaces to IBM TCP/IP, but they also sell a program that will gateway mail all over the place - PROFS, BITNET etc). I believe they're in Naples, FL. Try 1-800-555-1212 to get the number. It also runs under VM... Mike
