X.400 mail

[James Harvey]

     We are considering solutions for company wide E-Mail.  There is a wide
     variety of Local Area Networks (Apple, Novell Ethernet, ARCNet etc.)
     and several NCR Unix boxes to be connected.  Our Corporate Communica-
     tions wants to buy Softswitch on an IBM mainframe or a DEC All-In-One
     system to convert E-Mail formats but we are having problems with the
     Towers.  It looks like TCP/IP or X.25 communications may be available
     for the NCR machines but I would like to use X.400 mailers or prefer-
     ably a Unix to X.400 converter.  My GREPping around the news directo-
     rys has produced only two news items that even mention X.400.

     Is there a Newsgroup that discusses X.400?
     Does anyone know of an X.400 package for Unix?
     Are we wasting our time looking at X.400?

     Side issue unrelated to Unix...  Has anyone ever connected a Novell
     ARCNet to a Dec All-In-One for direct E-Mail?
