To use the chart, locate your system’s version in the first column, then read across the row until you reach the version of the system you are connecting to. The methods listed are the methods supported when connecting the two systems.

IMPORTANT:A GroupWise system’s version is determined by the version of the Message Transfer Agent (MTA) running in the system. If your system includes multiple versions of the MTA, determine which MTA will be used when connecting to the other system and use that MTA’s version when reading the table.
