There is a Novell-aware KA9Q that will deliver incoming mail directly to
Novell users' mailboxes (so long as a user has a Novell account and access
to the mailer, they have an email address).

URL:  ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/ibmpc/nonet    er...I think.

Despite the recent upgrade to Advantis modems et al, we are still connecting
OK...(famous last words....

As far as the mailer is concerned, we use, on the whole, Pegasus Mail running
a gateway to format the email landing in the outgoing mail queue (this, I
believe is also in the nonet archive though a 4DOS btm batch file can do the
job also).

As far as Pegasus Mail for Windos, you'll have to ask in some Windos newsgroup
as we use the DOS version.


With regard to automated logins (it's best to have that running under a
multitasker that can kill errant sessions), install 4DOS and write a
batch file to fire up net.exe from time to time.

Hope this helps.
