To change the network name and postoffice name of your local postoffice, do
the following:


1. Run the Administrator program (ADMIN.EXE).

2. Select Config, Password.

3. Use the UP ARROW key to move to the network and postoffice fields.

4. Make the necessary changes.

NOTE: You need to make sure that all of the external postoffices know the
new network name and postoffice name. You may also want to re-export the
user list.

Remote users dialing to the postoffice will need a new CONNECT.GLB file in
their local directory.

WARNING: If you try to change a network name to one that has already been
defined as part of an external postoffice, you will get a "Notice 6 -
Duplicate network name" error and will not be able to change the name until
you select External-Admin, Delete and delete all references to the network
name. Once you have deleted the external postoffice definitions, you will
be able to change the local postoffice network and you will then be able to
re-create definitions to the external postoffices you deleted.
