119.0. "HELP: users at PC's mailing with Verity's MEMO" by MXOV06::RICHTER () Tue Feb 25 1992 20:42

    Hi, this is DEC at Mexico City.
    
    A customer of ours wants a bid from us for a LAN with PC's served by a
    Unix server over tcp (plus std desktop productivity tools) ... let's say
    "no sweat, so far".
    
    They want the PC users to be able to use MEMO "by way of logging to
    their 3090 through a 3270 tty emulator". They have a MITEC box that
    brings their ibm to tcp and, it looks like MITEC provides also a 3270
    emulator over tcp ....
    
    Now, we think it may make sense to offer as an alternative a mail
    gateway (offload their mainframe from the increasing amount of
    networked PC users wanting to communicate among themselves and
    through MEMO, with other people WANwide).
    
    
    Can MRMEMO be (part of) the solution?
    In a tcp / unix(ultrix) environment?  (we can justify the inclusion of
        vax/vms servers "ie, dedicated black boxes", however they would
        have to coexist gracefully in this tcp/unix environment)
    
    Any comment/suggestion will be very much appreciated.
    
    
    Thanks,
    
    Julio Richter,  Mexico SI/SS (still aka EIS)

	Hello, >> And add other part of UMC on a ULTRIX machine. I think you have to have >> DECnet on that ULTRIX node, not sure. correct, DECnet-ULTRIX and (for installation) DECnet-ULTRIX Unsupported Software Subset. >> This will get you a SMTP - MEMO gateway environment.The addressess will >> not be funny. ULTRIX -- MEMO to: sn_u=memo_user@sn_l=memo_loc.memo_mbx.umc MEMO -- ULTRIX VAX.USER@umc<@node> cheers Michael

	Michael, Are you sure about this syntax? > ULTRIX -- MEMO > to: sn_u=memo_user@sn_l=memo_loc.memo_mbx.umc What does UMC do with the SN_U and SN_L elements? cheers, Stefan

	Stefan, >> Are you sure about this syntax? Yes, see Ultrix Mail User Guide, page 2-20 ULTRIX -- IBM SNADS User (that's similar to MRMEMO, right?) to: sn_username=user@sn_location=node.mrs.mrs_node.umc >> What does UMC do with the SN_U and SN_L elements? UMC passes the elements to the Message Router cheers, Michael
119.5	Well, you have a lot of addressing options...	EEMELI::MITTS	Phased out...	`Fri Feb 28 1992 17:35`	40

119.7	back to .1 PC's => MEMO over tcp	MXOV06::RICHTER		`Fri Feb 28 1992 19:52`	10
	Well Bjorn, I am a bit confused, nevertheless what I think I'm getting clear is that we better wait and let them start by logging to the mainframe with terminal emulation to run MEMO from their PC's. Then wait for what is comming, mainly X.400 mail, either your suggestion or (also possible in the summer, although not clear if it will support tcp) All-in-1 Mail for Ultrix ... of course, asumming X.400 support by MEMO. ... making sense?
