You have two choices; 1) If you have an HP9000 box, you can use HP's OpenMail on the 9000 to route mail to/from your OpenDesk system(s). 2) Or you can use $PLUG$ DeskLink from 3k Associates. It doesn't require any extra hardware or software. As an aside (for those concerned about performance) recently a large HPDesk customer using the OpenMail link came to us as they were experiencing serious performance problems (messages passing between Desk and other e-mail systems in their network were often taking more than 4 hours to deliver). In their own benchmarks, they found that the DeskLink gateway outperformed the OpenMail gateway by about 2:1, and could have exceeded that in certain situations since the OpenMail gateway pipes ALL outbound messages from Desk through a single pipe into the 9000 system, where DeskLink can often run multiple delivery queues in parallel (one process per destination system) as Desklink delivers messages directly from 3000 to destination. Hope that helps... ______________________/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_ Chris Bartram Sales (US): 800 Net-Mail Fax:+1 703 451-3720 ______ +1 703 569-9189 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] /__ | \__________ Sales (Europe):+44(1480)414131 Fax:+44(1480)414134 / / | / ________ Sales (Pacific Rim):+61 3 489 8216 (same for fax) | /_ |< ______ Tech Support:+1 703 569-9189 Fax:+1 703 451-3720 \ __)| \ ___ E-mail: [log in to unmask] Personal(me): [log in to unmask] \______/Associates, 6901 Old Keene Mill Rd Suite 205 Springfield VA 22150 _________________Inc._/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_ Gopher: gopher.3k.com Anon-FTP: ftp.3k.com WWW: http://www.3k.com/
