Hi,

That depends on how the sysadmins configured the POA's (Post Office
Agents). Your GroupWise client has three ways to connect to them. Open
the databases itself (not a wise idea), or contacting the POA either by
IPX or IP. In the case of IPX I can tell you that it won't work too
well. You'll have to configure IPX on your compu. In the case of IP
communications, I advise you to run vmware instead of wine. GroupWise
must have the Windows Messageing System in order to work well,
especially with the address books. It won't work with wine.

I've installed vmware, made a 200MB virtual disk (a file), installed
win95 and GroupWise. It worked right away. Make sure you install the
'Inbox', because GroupWise needs it for the address books.

If your sysadmins haven't configured IP, you'll have to configure IPX in
Windows AND Linux, because it ports communications. Not an easy task,
but I'm sure it's possible.

Good luck!
