    which versions of message router(base and gateways MRX, MRS and  MRG) ,
    mailbus mta  and x500 products are  prepared to work with year 2000.
    
    	Thanks .. Marcia

Marcia,

We are not committing to YR2000 readiness for any of the Message Router/MAILbus
1 family of products.

Engineering retirement of these products was announced in February's Customer
Update with the intention to retire in June '98. MCS are investigating possible
options to support the family past the YR2000 but this investigation has only
just begun. For more info contact Judy Photenas of MCS.

DIGITAL X.500 is YR2000 ready (note we do not use the terms compliant or
conformant for legal reasons) and MAILbus 400 will be with the next release in
September/October.

Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

   This customer is testing Mailbus 400 and X.500 with ALL-IN-1 3.2 maybe they 
migrate before Year 2000.

   But I 'll get in touch with Judy Photenas in case the customer tells me 
that their intention is not to migrate before Year 2000.

	Thanks,

	M�rcia
