We have a separate mail account for each employee on our machine and they dial up individually to get their mail via MacPPP/POP3. This is inefficient but it works and it's cost effective for a small company (this one has 10 employees). I imagine it would not be the right solution for a larger company. If anyone does find a good solution to network FBSD <-> novell, WinNT, and Mac please post it. Does FBSD have any Appletalk or IPX support? Chuck
