Morning all, A few days/weeks ago there was a discussion about someone writing a simple z/VSE-based email client. I tried searching the archives, but they haven't been working for me, recently. So, was the author ever able to get the email client working? If so, would it be possible to possibly acquire a copy? A State agency wants to get rid of some old equipment, and that would cause the loss of an SNA line (yes, an SNA line) where another agency pushes reports to us via an NJE Link. The proposed solution is to 'drop' the reports on a Secure FTP Server, and send an email when the reports are there. Sounds like manual intervention, to me. So if I can automagically read/process the email, and programmatically kick off the job to go retrieve it... Thanks, Dave P.S. How come, the more advanced the 'web' technologies become, the more it appears manual intervention is required? Why not FTP directly to my VSE System? Why the intermediate server and email?
