186.0. "ALL-IN-1 to UNIX/ULTRIX" by NEMAIL::ROBERTSON () Fri Mar 06 1992 15:11

    
    I have a customer with a large ALL-IN-1 installation running corporate
    wide on VAXes. 
    
    The company has a lot of UNIX and ULTRIX work stations. 
    
    They would like to be able to send mail between ALL-IN-1 on the VAXes
    and UNIX mail on the work stations. 
    
    Currently they are doing this as follows:
    
    ALL-IN-1 to Message Router to Mrgate to a WINS account(Wollongong) on 
    the same VAX- The WINS account translates the message to SMTP and sends
    it over TCP/IP to the workstations. The VAX is running DECnet and
    TCP/IP. 
    
    What's wrong with this???
    
    The addressing is "ridiculously complicated" and Wollongong does not
    create the proper return address.
    
    The customer wants to know other options.
    
    He would rather not run a seperate ULTRIX node running Ultrix Mail 
    Connection but thinks that may be the only alternative so wants to
    know all about it.
    
    Is there a Message router gateway product that does this????
    
    All ideas welcome!!!
    
    Thanks.
