        Good afternoon, all!

        For those of us who have to deal with NT-MacOS integration issues, I would
like to invite you to join a new, low-traffic list I created yesterday: The
Mac-NT listserv. Unlike the WinMac list that deals with ALL Windows
platforms, this list is more intended for LAN & enterprise needs.

-> And *no,* I will not be leaving you all. :)

        It's important to note that the Mac-NT list is a COMPANION to the WinMac
list, and NOT a competitor. Yes, there will be some overlap; but mostly the
Mac-NT list will "fan out" towards the enterprise level and less towards
home users.

        In addition, there are already some heavy-duty "lurkers" on the list, so
the info quality will be high.

        WHY A NEW LIST?

        If the Mac is going to survive, it needs to be a good "corporate citizen"
and integrate well into not just *nix networks but also NT networks. The
DHCP (Mac client <-> NT DHCP) connectivity issue comes first to mind. NT's
Services For Macintosh vs DAVE is another. Backing up and archiving Mac
files on NT Server solutions (such as clusters) is yet another. AFP over IP
is yet another...

        Also, hopefully this will cut down on the contention between subscribers
to the WinMac list... It's hard to please ALL the people ALL of the time!

        To join, just point your browser to:

individual messages or a digest form.

        Yours truly,
        Daniel L. Schwartz,
        Electrical Engineer.
