start of 2 cent rant: I run a client at work on win95. It constantly stalls the box, crashes by saying 'can't contact postoffice,' takes a long time to come up, chokes on more than 1100 or so sent emails, and other things. Granted, a lot of these things maybe particular to our site, but still, it stinks. GW can arrange meetings, manage documents, planning, and a million other things, but I WANT MY PINE! I find it funny that my little AMD k2 266 box with 64MB ram and pine offers more satisfaction than my PII 400mhz 64MB ram with GW at work! Complaints about it are dismissed as "lags? crashes? reboots? that's the way it has always been. Live with it!" end of 2 cents. teve. ------------------------------------------- Steven Pauly (281) 496-8041 Houston, Tx stevep@brokersys.com stevep@linux-shell.net SuSE Linux 6.3 2.2.14 (cp /dev/null microsoft) -------------------------------------------- On Sat, 22 Jan 2000, Rogier Maas wrote:
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!
