I've been acting as postmaster for about a year on an old Sun 3/60; little memory; little disk space; and a decomiited OS from Sun; plus no budget or commitment fronmm mgmt to spend any more money on upgrading it to a Sparc; but we do have a new NeXT machine that came in for someone who is moving on - such a deal for me! But, in my first glance at it, its sys config is quite a bit diff than the Sun. I'd been hoping to put Smail on it, along with News (B or C?) and run POP3 and NNTP servers on it for Mac/PC access. Our current connection is a simple dialup (Telebit) to uunet - we're looking to change to a SLIP or PPP link to PSI (or some other available service.) Am I crazy for wanting to do this? Should I reconsider and try for a Sparc upgrade? Or is it really that bad after all? Please reply via email to: rgg@aldus.com; as we don't reliably receive this newsgroup. thanks in advance. PS: pointers to good archive sites on the net would also be appreciated!
