I am looking for an E-Mail package that will run on a Novell LAN network and also run concurrent with PC Support. Any help is greatly appreciated.

From: Tom Podany To: Glenn Carlson

We have a Novell Network that our AS/400s are tied into. We run an E-Mail package called CC:Mail. Provided you have enough memory, you can run it along with PC Support. We are even running WSF in Windows 3.1 and I'm able to minimize CC:Mail and get into the AS/400 sessions. CC:Mail is a Lotus product so I'm sure that your Novell salespeople can get you more info. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tom, thank you for your reply; I was wondering, what do you consider enough memory? We currently have 4MB on our PCs. I had trouble with CC:Mail and PC Support. I would bring up CC:Mail and then load PC Support. After toggling from the AS/400 to CC:Mail, my system would lock up. Do you load E-Mail before or after PC Support?

From: Tom Podany To: Glenn Carlson

Well, we can load either one first. One thing that I did not mention was that we do not run shared folders in PC Support, which saves a lot of memory. We have users here that have 1MB machines that can access both PC Support and CC:Mail. Also, we are running DOS 5.0 and utilizing upper memory capabilities, such as loading some of the device drivers high. Let me know if you want to see a copy of our config.sys and autoexec.bat files so you can see what drivers we use and how they are loaded.

We are currently using WordPerfect Office Mail with PC Support and it seems to work rather well. The Notify will pop up a message box in the AS/400 session. If you are not running the PC Organizer, you can ALT-ESC into the ml.exe to read the mail message. We also have some windowing capability of Windows for DOS sessions.
