Re: Lotus Notes on the IPCS and Internet E-mail

  I am not sure that Vern's response is correct ?  The Lotus MTA (Message 
Transport Agent) is a replacement for the standard SENDMAIL function. If 
you have a LAN based connection to the ISP you should be able to install 
the MTA on the NOTES IPCS, and configure a connection to the ISP's mail 
gateway. 

   There are some inexpense ($700 range) ISDN based Modems/Routers/Hubs 
in a single unit package that could be used as the connection to the ISP, 
and support a "dial" connection. 

   If you want to connect to the ISP via the standard communications 
features of the AS/400 (aka the ECS connection) then Vern is correct 
there is no way that I am aware of to share the Line with the IPCS.
