subject: Win/PPP mailers under Netware

Hello all!
I've got someone with an older Novell network (ready to upgrade), who 
(separately) has a registered domain name on the internet, through a local 
ISP. They're wondering if it's possible for each machine on the local Novell 
network to have its own email account (dave@x.com, ted@x.com, etc), which 
would all be connected through the server and one modem, where the server (or 
someone manually running a task) would call in to the ISP occasionally during 
the day to check for mail. I poked a bit at Novell.com, but it didn't give me 
a quick answer, even on what's available for messaging in a stock, standalone 
netware system.
It seems (from the advertising) that there should be an easy integration 
between IntraNetWare and the ISP's SMTP server, and that IntraNetWare should 
be able to function as an intermediate SMTP server to email clients on each 
workstation, so they think they're logging in to something to check email, 
but actually getting it from their inbox on the local server. Wow, that was a 
good ramble. |-} If any of this made any sense, and the point of my question 
got through my words, and there *is* an answer, I'd appreciate it.
