MailGateway ( modem sharer and modem sharing )

This code allows several users on a LAN to access their mail from an ISP by using Windows NT 4.0 RAS services. Only ONE modem is needed for several users. Please note that this is NOT and e-mail client. The app acts as a gateway between your email client and the ISP This code dials the ISP and allows several simultaneous connections, I have tested this for 25 simultaneous connections, so it should be O.K for a small company. The code also disconnects from the ISP after a few seconds of innactivity. All YOU have to do is the following (1) Make sure that you have RAS services on your NT server, a valid Internet account, and have this executable code running on the server (2) There are 2 Winsock controls on the form called RemoteSMTP(0) and RemotePOP3(0). Change the "RemoteHost" property for these controls to your ISP's mail server name (3) Your mail client must be set to use the IP address (or name ) of your local NT server, not your ISP's mail server. Just the IP address or the name! Nothing else should change (4) Configure your Internet dial-up connection to "close on dial", otherwise you'll have a new window popping up every time the computer dials out Once the executable is up and running you can test it manually by running the following command telnet 127.0.0.1 25 The dial-up screen should appear and the modem should start connecting. After a few seconds, your telnet screen should show you a message saying that you have connected to some server somewhere. This indicates that your server is properly configured.
