@(#)samples/arcnet/README 1.2 24 Oct 1990 05:19:43 This directory contains scripts and a transport file entry that can be used for transmitting mail over arcnet between Fortune 32:16 computer systems. This makes use of a /net filesystem which allows the local host to gain access to the complete tree of a remote host. By writing files into a subdirectory of a remote host, mail is transmitted. This requires a program to submit mail to the remote host (in send.sh) and a daemon to pick up mail sent by a remote host (recvd.sh). The same idea could be used to transmit mail over, say, NFS or other shared filesystems, though in most cases direct use of SMTP over TCP/IP is preferable.
