We are running LISTSERV 1.8c under VM/ESA Release 2. Up to now we have NOT been running SMS. We are running Beyond Software's Webshare freeware server (v 1.2.3) for web access to CMS. We have 600+ lists currently. As with every other site, our users can no longer live with out WEB access to the archives. The only free product I know of is WLV from Marist (A. Harry WIlliams) and naturally the same folks who must have access don't want to pay for anything. My problem comes only from the technical side. Installing/running SMS seems to be fairly routine (for IBM stuff), but I see nothing in the LISTSERV installation or site mgrs manuals on how to configure LISTSERV and the list headers, etc to run with SMS. I also found virtually nothing in a search of the list archives. If anyone out there has gone thru this process (either SMS or LISTSERV) and can offer guidance (maybe even a check list (I know I'm lazy)) I would be most appreciative. Any warnings or other advice is also solicited. Since most of the folks on this list seem to be of the UNIX persuasion, contact me directly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Raymond Ayers VM & MVS Systems Programmer | | Computer Services -- Division of Libraries and Information Services | | University Of South Carolina Columbia, South Carolina, 29208 | | Phone: 803-777-4409 Fax: 803-777-4760 | | Internet: [log in to unmask] | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
