Warp4 has full TCPIP support so use it. You can use telnet or remote exec 
(REXEC) and possibly a couple of other things depending on software config. 
Win95 should have less problems working TCPIP than it does Netbios. Good 
luck... 
Simplest, have the slow machine leave a semephore file for the "server" to 
detect periodically to trigger the mail software. I do that exclusively for 
my single machine as there are dozens of windows that can trigger tossing but 
only one tossing window to do the work.
