Sending OpenVMS mail using personalalpha

[Piet Timmers_1]

Hello everybody.

A special case.

I use personalalpha on a notebook. The notebook is connected to the internet using a wireless network interface. When using windows I can send email using the smtp server provided by my internet provider.

Is there a way to send an OpenVMS mail using the same smtp provider?

Thanks.

does the emulated alpha have access to the network interface?

The emulated Alpha has access to the wireless network interface. I can do a telnet to another OpenVMS node on the netwerk via the wireless interface.

ps.
I created a cluster using the wifi interface. A two node cluster, one node connected via UTP, and the other one connected via wifi, so I called it a wireless cluster.

Piet,
I'm assuming you have configured & started TCP/IP on the personal workstation.
Make sure the SMTP server is known in either the TCPIP local host db of the personal alpha, and/or in its DNS server.
Then in TCPIP on the personal alpha, enable the SMTP service, and:
TCPIP> SET CONFIGURATION SMTP /GATEWAY=ALTERNATE=
Start the SMTP service.
Success,
Kris (aka Qkcl)

You'll want to stay reasonably current in PersonalAlpha versions -- if you're using something like 1.0.x where x < 15, it's time to upgrade.

1.1.4 is current, and 1.2 will be coming soon.
