You could also use EMC storage as a back-end, not cheap but very flexible and reliable. You could also look at an appliance device like those from Mirapoint ...

Look up SMS Gateway on your favourite search engine... There are several ways to interface into SMS networks. You can do this over air via a phone, or via a connection into the networks SMS-C. You could install something like Kannel (www.kannel.org) which is a WAP gateway and an SMS gateway. The SMS part has functionality to drive various cellular data phones, it can also talk to the network SMS-C's using various protocols (however you'll need a connection agreement from the network to use these). You could also use something like sendpage (sendpage.sourceforge.net) which implements a TAP (i.e. dial-up) interface into the networks (and most have a public dial-up number, though generally premium rate). There are other alternatives like www.qpage.org ...

Demon offers a 'host' based service, delivers mail to customers by SMTP. Thus a customer logs-in, say with host, and their domain name is host.demon.co.uk. Demon dont care about the user part and can in fact have as many or as few 'users' on their host. At the time static IP was the way to go. RIPE DID try and stop Demon allocating static IP addresses, however after certain high level shouting matches and threats to go to the European court (RIPE aren't allowed to dictate how Demon run their business, if they run an SMTP/host based service - that's what they run, RIPE can't dictate for them to use dynamic IP). Anyway, Demon have to account for every IP addressed used, and associate it (in customer blocks) with a name and address. Which is fair enough.

Since MCIS is NT based, you'd have to have a seperate mail system and integrate it using MCIS's LDAP features and LDAP patches to qmail.

Or download (or get Sun to send you) a try and buy CD, then you can get a 30 day eval key (which actually gives you a fully multi-user set of Sun tools i.e. C/C++/Fortan/Debuggers/Visual tools etc).
