Subject:      Experience with Novell's 1000 User License
Lines: 22

        I am thinking about alternatives for setting up 800 users on cc:Mail.  I
know cc:Mail may not be the best email option, but that is not a variable.  All
users are currently scattered across 15 networks.   All 15 of the networks are
Novell 3.11, 100 or 250 User. Each network contains their own mail system, some
cc:mail, some will need to be converted.
        One option I am thinking about is setting up a Super Server (Compaq
Syspro probably) with the 1000 User License.  All users would log in to their
respective servers, and then attach to the one Super Server to access their
mail.
        I have heard that the 1000 User License is "flakey", so I was wondering
if anyone has had any experience with it.  We will not need to load too many
extranious NLM's, probably just the Macintosh Support.  I was also wondering if
anyone has had more than 500 cc:mail users in one database before on a Novell
platform.  We forsee some problems there also.

Please respond to me directly, if there is enough interest, I will post a
summary of the responses on the Bulletin Board.  My address is:

Thanks, in advance.
