I have been doing this for years. I have my VCR and DVD (ok, the DVD is new) dumping straight into a little transmitter rebroadcasting on channel 27.
And every TV in the house can tune 27 in and when content there changes, they all change. It is pretty nice walking through the house and watch the same movie or newscast everywhere.
I bought the device from a TV shop at least 10 years ago, but I just saw a hobbie electronics magazine in the library with plans to make a similar device. It was the front page cover story.
Frankly, I'd dump exchange in a minute. There is no worse, virus prone combo, than Exchange/Outlook.
If it were just email, then sendmail or another of the freebies.
However you say it is more, so then use Lotus Notes. It does run on Linux, and does *more* than Exchange. We run it here (10,000 -18,000 users I'd guess) and aren't threatened by the Code Red/Nimbda things going on. Machines can be infected in various small ways. For instance, we had a few "I love you" infections, perhaps 80 or so (bear in mind the total above). However, it doesn't spread. And if the administrators are watching for this stuff, Notes can clean it out itself. Running a virus checker on top helps to.
So before all of you anti-ms fsckers get all up in arms, read the damn story first. Apple is working WITH MS to fix it.
So Apple will always be playing catch up with a MS product that already works. What's your point?
Maybe Microsoft originated Code Red?

After all, CR will identify NT and Win2k servers, that might possibly be running on pirated software. Now we have logs all over the place of where they are. Do they have licenses??????
Awhile back, my brother talked to a MS person on a plane about this while in flight.
Hotmail's interface, the web server access was moved to Windows.
The back end databases remain on Sun Solaris however.
I probably have notes on this somewhere, but can remmeber that a whole lot (hundreds I'd guess) of Windows web servers are feeding just a handful of Sun machines handling the actual mail databases. There is also another layer of servers between the two that figure out which Sun server has a particular person's email.
Verizon has *not* blocked port 80 here...

WAKE UP, open-source community. The battle is not for the desktop; it is not for the server; it is not for the operating system; it is not for the development environment; it is not about the GNU General Public License (GPL) vs. Microsoft's business model. The battle is primarily about who will control user-authentication services.
Mainframe computers are now running Linux, and did not come pre-installed that way. More significant is that one mainframe can run thousands of copies of Linux.
IBM has changed from whatever they were using before to Linux on their home page. Hard to say if it is running on Linux, but it sure isn't running Windows.
You should not gloat. The Studebaker Avanti (R4?)(tubocharged) production model could do 180 mph off the assembly line.
That kinda beats your Trans Am. And it was a long time ago.
Keep dreamin.
Using this site, you can see your Windows machines trail far behind the *nix machines. Yeah, I have one listed here. It's only been booted about twice. Once to add a 2nd nic, and once to move to another location for it's permanent use. It's a Linux box of course.
Well, we see your point.
Why MS's argument won't work in Mexico is that MS is [in theory] arguing that Win2k is less labor intensive, and therefore cheaper.
But labor is cheaper in Mexico. Cheaper than MS lincensing. Ergo, that argument is dust. Linux becomes cheaper.
Well, no. But then I don't regard Exchange as a real progran anyway. It is a virus. Or perhaps more correctly, a virus magnet.
To demonstrate the difference, we run Lotus Notes at work. I have used it for about 5 years. And love it. But often the initial impression a person may have might not approach my fondness or that of the others at work. That is just because you don't know it.
But hear this: When the "I Love You" thing hit, we might have had 75 infected machines [total] out of over 10,000. We were virutally unaffected. And that was the first hit by the virus. It did NOT spread. And as soon as we knew it was there, a tweak of Notes prevented a user from sending it anywhere.
OTOH, I know for a fact that some companies that we deal with were completely down for a week or more trying to fix the mess.
The upside is that Notes is just very reliable and good. Exchange isn't. BTW, we merged with another company of similar size, who was using Exchange. They are converting to Notes right now.
Yes. It does work with OS/2, as does a lot of other ported *nix open source stuff, using the emx libraries and/or Xfree86 to handle it.
For instance, I just put PMVNC, ported from the Open source code on my OS/2 machine, which I used to access a Linux box and a Win2k box 90 miles from here. I also used a SSH port to access the linux box. I have had a port of NcFTP for a long time on the machine.
There is also an OS/2 ISP mailing list where they discuss Sendmail usage, SPAM, and a lot of other things; I also participate in that list.
You can find most of this stuff for OS/2 at http://hobbes.nmsu.edu. Xfree86 and Samba links for OS/2 can also be found at their respective sites.
No. I think I'll stand by my original assertion. Security at MS is, well, poor.

Microsoft goes ton up for security bugs in
2000
By: John Leyden
Posted: 22/12/2000 at 17:50 GMT
Microsoft has issued its 100th security notice for the year 2000, proving
that its productivity in generating exploits for crackers to exploit has
reached unprecedented heights.
Fittingly, the problem concerns Internet Information Server, the number
of exploits for which is a standing joke amongst many members of the
security community.
Update:
Cnet [http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1007-201-4245328-0.ht ml?tag=pt.abc.tech..ne_4245328] notes that two others have been cracked in recent times, CD Universe and Creditcards.com. And all three lost creditcard info.
These two and Egghead all run MS software.
And Microsoft itself has been hacked recently.
I know all about patches and all. But don't the facts point to a real security problem with Microsoft software???
Yet another quality site run on Microsoft software .
My personal rule of internet purchasing: Go to Netcraft, figure out what software they are running, and if it is MS, it is not worth the risk to buy there.

I have been a user of both a Palm Pilot and Lotus Notes [calendar too] for some time. Many large companies are using Notes + calendar and now have Palms as well. Support of both of these is important, but support for the private fields and records of both are also important.
This is off the cuff, so not too much detail but...
I have been a Lotus Notes user for 5 years at work, and a pop/smtp at home for more than that. There is much to be said for Nix mail systems, but there is much more to be said for Notes especially for use in a large corporation.
And as compared with Exchange, Notes is far better. Not only does it give you secure email, but also gives much more. We have hundreds of very useful databases across the company.
And what is great about Notes is the rock solid security, which extends down to the field level.
When Melissa, or 'I Love you' virii came out, though we have thousands of users, and the virus was unexpected, we were virutually unharmed by it. I'd guess we had not more than 50-100 actual PC's that got infected themselves, but it stopped there. The infection did not spread or affect our operation. And some simple filters placed a bit later stopped any virus from being sent at all by any user.
Meanwhile, other companies, including those very heavy with tech support were down completely for a week or more when the 'I love you' virus hit them. It was hardly a blip on our radar operationally. We did of course, have to search out and destroy it.
It is clear to me that the security model of Notes is very strong, and a properly administered system is safe and secure. And if my business was a *Bank* or securities firm, Notes would be the only choice.
"I'd really put meat in the process of progressive taxation. The richer people are, the more the percentage you pay. After all, it's their influence that rigged the system to get them that rich to begin with. And, second, we should tax things we don't like.
And just who is this "We" that gets to decide what "we" like and what "we" don't?
Some Guy Named Chris
And evidently, Chris does NOT like anyone to improve themselves, to make more money since he advocates taxing them more, and he also thinks to discourage an activity, you tax it more.
Therefore, it only follows that Chris wants us all to be poor [except for himself I'm sure....]

The short story is I have no virii to worry about. OS/2 is basically impervious to them. I also use it for some of my web browsing.
I also have Win98, Win NT, and Linux machines on the network.
BTW, Linux is IMB's new OS/2.
If it were just email, then sendmail or another of the freebies.
