- Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP, version 3.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Mail Gateway to SMTP version cannot run on Microsoft's TCP/IP for
Windows NT, which uses the Winsock API: the SMTP Gateway was not developed to
interact with this.

The SMTP Gateway does run on top of two Microsoft TCP/IP products that use the
Microsoft LAN Manager APIs:

- LAN Manager TCP/IP

- Windows for Workgroups TCP/IP (must use the MS-DOS redirector)

The software must be loaded in the correct order. Start TCP/IP (for LAN Manager
or Windows for Workgroups) first with the "load tcpip" command. Then start the
TCP/IP application interface, called SOCKET, by typing "SOCKETS". When these
have been started, you can start the SMTP Gateway software with the "smtpgate"
command.
