- Try FrontDoor.
-
- FrontDoor 2.02 Noncommercial
- User guide
- For noncommercial use and distribution
-
- Welcome to FrontDoor, the complete e-mail package from Advanced
- Engineering sarl. It is probably safe to say that an e-mail package,
- such as FrontDoor, is one of the most complex types of applications
- around. This manual is very straight forward and may seem hard to
- understand at first glance. If you get lost, or cannot understand
- something, go back and read the section you are having problems with,
- carefully.
-
- FrontDoor has been tested on more than four thousand systems for over
- five years. It will run under MS or PC DOS versions 3.1 and above;
- including 4.x, 5.x, OS/2 1.3, and OS/2 2.0 DOS Mode. It runs under
- most LAN software; including Novell and LANtastic. It also runs under
- PC-MOS/386, VM/386 and in other multi-tasking environments such as
- DESQview.
-
- 2.1 Hardware requirements
-
- o An IBM PC, AT, i386, i486, PS/2 or 100% BIOS compatible.
- o A hard disk with at least 1 MB available diskspace.
- o An asynchronous modem capable of sending alphanumeric
- messages such as CONNECT 2400.
- o A DTE interface (computer <> modem) that supports CTS/RTS
- handshaking (most cables/internal modems do).
- o A monochrome or color monitor.
- o 384 KB of system memory.
-
-
- 2.2 Software requirements
-
- o MS or PC DOS 3.10 or above.
- o A FOSSIL driver such as X00 or BNU.
-
-
- 2.3 Additional equipment
-
- FrontDoor can take advantage of, but does not require, the
- following:
-
- o EMS/XMS memory for overlays and memory image swapping.
- o EGA/VGA extended screen modes such as 80x43/50 and
- 132x28.
- o AT-style (extended) keyboard.
-
- ______________________________________
- Hope this helps.
