I am doing some work for a local charity with 3 offices - 
two in the metro area and another about an hour away. They have 
want email between all three locations

 Right now they have:

	Netware 3.12
	DOS 5.0 and 6.22 clients running mostly Word Perfect
	NE2000 compatible and 3com ethernet cards
	a few Windows boxes
	a few slow modems

 The users are mostly social workers but there will probably be 
a computer science student from a local university available a 
few hours a week for any administrative details and they have a 
comp sci prof who helps them out occasionally.

   I have downloaded PC pine and a couple of different POP3 
servers for Windows NT. I suspect I'll be able to get a single 
site up and running without too much hassle, but I have no idea 
how to go about handling the WAN aspects of this project.

   For WAN connections I have a choice of PPP connections via 
internet providers in both towns (best choice IMHO) or we can 
do a direct dial polling type connection. Getting this in place 
is not a challenge, but mail routing is a mystery to me.

   I picked Windows NT as the mail service platform since it 
seemed easiest to implement. If there is a NW 3.12 solution I'd 
be excited to hear about it. I know Linux is cheapest but I 
work with NT and netware daily - Linux is a hobby I engage in 
when the wife isn't looking.

   Anyway, if you have done or maintain a similar setup much 
thanks in advance for the gritty details :-)
