We have a PC Novell network, a Mac/MacJANET network, a Sun mainframe as well
as a Cyber (CDC) mainframe. None of the products available will integrate
these diverse platforms. Quickmail and MS-Mail can be used to make PCs and
Macs talk to each other, but only if the PCs have Appletalk cards. Only
our server has an Appletalk card. I doubt we will ever find a mail program
that will do what we want...
