Paclink

Paclink is another Winlink user (client) program - Paclink's approach is considerably different than that implemented by RMS Express; it concentrates on providing agency-style messaging capabilities and provides no email client of its own -- It depends on other email programs such as Outlook Express to provide those capabilites.

Paclink interfaces standard POP and SMTP server connections that allow any email program to be used. This results is a very powerful angeny configuration where users can continue to use the email clients they have become used to - requiring only a simple configuration change to add the Paclink email account.

Another special benifit in using Paclink is the ability to stand up a complete webmail system where no email client programs are needed - only a web browser on the users computer. Once set up on a portable computer all that is needed is to insert the portable computer into the agency network and set up email accounts for the users.
