Can this NT workstation be anywhere on the TCP/IP network? For example, the
administrative workstation will be at the remote office (tied in via isdn),
and the server will be co-located at the operations center. Can the client
just pick the IP to the server and go from there? Also, they mentioned on
their web site that it didn't work to monitor internal mail - do they mean
mail from one internal company user to another, or did they mean mail from
employees out to the world?
As far as what you were mentioning about licensing, does the client itself
actually have a pop server then? Or .. I didn't quite understand that I
guess. Hopefully we can just use Imail all around.
Thanks again, it never ceases to amaze me how admins are so resourceful so
quickly.
