Free meldware communication suite software for linux

Meldware Communication Suite is a platform independent groupware package consisting of:
Meldware Mail
Meldware Calendar
Meldware Webmail
Meldware Secure Administration System
Together the package provides support for thousands of users to concurrently send and receive email and schedule meetings. MCS uniquely allows you to store all messages and scheduling events in nearly any database and runs on nearly all popular software and hardware platforms.
Additionally, while the scheduling and calendaring services are able to be installed separately, the integrated featureset provides both a unique and powerful experience to both users and server-side Mail Based Applications and Collaboration Based Application Services.
The MCS platform provides security integration using LDAP sources including Microsoft Active Directory as well as flat-file and Database sources. Additionally, extensible security allows custom authentication/authorization sources.
Enhancements:
- IMAP is now stable with Mozilla Thunderbird and POP/SMTP are production ready.
- New Filestore code was implemented and many improvements were made in mailbox and storage code.

SAP R/3 Communications Suite allows SAP R/3 servers to communicate with external devices such as fax and GSM modems by sending and receiving a fax or SMS.

IBM 3270 Terminal Applications suite consists of seven applications.
x3270 is an IBM 3270 terminal emulator for the X Window System and Windows. The project runs on most Unix-like operating systems -- e.g., Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Cygwin. It also runs natively on Windows.
x3270 runs over a TELNET connection, emulating either an IBM 3279 (color) or 3278 (monochrome). It supports:
- The full TN3270E protocol
- SSL/TLS (via the OpenSSL library) for encrypted sessions
- APL2 characters
- Non-English character sets, including Russian, Turkish, Hebrew and DBCS Chinese and Japanese
- IND$FILE file transfer
- NVT mode (emulating a color xterm)
- A pop-up keypad for 3270-specific keys
- A scrollbar
- Printer session integration
- Extensive debugging and scripting facilities
It does not yet support graphics. x3270 is distributed as source code, and can be used for free.
- x3270 is available in several different forms:
- x3270 is for use on an X graphics display
- c3270 is a curses-based version for use on a dumb terminal (e.g., a serial terminal or a Linux console)
- wc3270 is the Windows console version of c3270
- s3270 is a displayless version for writing screen-scraping scripts
- tcl3270 is similar to s3270, but integrated with Tcl
- pr3287 is for printer emulation
- wpr3287 is the native Windows version of pr3287
Also available is x026, an IBM 026 Keypunch emulator.
Enhancements:
- Proxy support was added.
- 3270 background color was added to c3270 and wc3270.
- Numerous small bugs were fixed.

Soma is a suite of programs that let you play and schedule audio files from the Web.
Soma suite supports extra utilities using run-time loadable modules and includes a broadcasting scheduler, a tool to control it via TCP/IP, and an utility to check configuration file syntax.
Soma project started in summer 2003 to manage the digital version of an activists radio old spools.
The first release just gave just the chance to play random some audio files in a directory using an external program (at that time mpg123). In despite of that this software was never used, i kept on thinking about soma project for some weeks, until i started directly to work with a group called Reload, which was experimenting at the time a project called "eterete" and creating a place for a web radio at Pergola Tribe (a selfmanaged house in Milan).
We used, of course, a release, which was a little bit better to manage the radio-playlist and of course we implemented the software itself. From september till december soma became a software suite, configurable through file and (remote administration...). Thats thanks to the relationships and the inputs that such a community like Reload can create.
A group of passionate activists was able to make broadcastings and broadcast schedules, to find out new problems and to give implementation advices. They also suggest me the idea that soma (originally a simple play-list manager) could become a programs suite, which has a player, a software for deferred broadcasting, a more user friendly admininstration, documentation and distribution.
Some time after came somaplayer and somaadmin. The player was still very behind compared to my implementation ideas. Somadmin was straight away on line and advertised on radio.inventati.org/somadmin/
In January 2004 we showed Soma at the first italian (web and air-waves) radio meeting in Naples.The meeting was technologically and politically profitable and it was an attempt to build up a real radio-network.
Radio.inventati.org was actually the only example od direct cooperation among even very different people: individuals, improvised groups, very old and movement radios and experiences from overseas countries.
On the web site there are occasional streamings, weekly streamings, and 24hrs music flows.
The object of the technical research was a digital environment, which could let individuals or whole communities gain access to a common schedule with resum?s, repetitions, deferred programs, live broadcastings, regular broadcastings as one national and international network.
Soma could satisfy this need and could be easly managed through the web thanks to somadmin, which could update the soma admin in real time.
The developments went on. Somaplayer is now reality. The only music player which can stream directly an mp3, an ogg vorbis, a wav, a track from an audio cd or a streaming directly on an icecast server (icecast 2 or shoutcast) or just play it on a computer using sound drivers or sound daemons.
At the moment more other people work at this project, who debug the software, write docs, work at the website and make installation packages (for debian).
Enhancements:
- This release fixes three bugs related to group permissions, the 31st of months, and an error in libsoma related to buffers and protocols.

Kumula is designed to become a complete software suite for business needs. Started as software for consultants, it is flexible enough to be used by almost any class of business. Kumula Business Suite provides a small CRM (Clients) and a Mini-DMS (Documents), enhanced by some other applications. Everybody is invited to use it or enhance it.
Kumula is written in Qt (http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/), PyQt and Python using the fabulous Eric3 development environment.
Enhancements:
- This is the last stable release before Ill port it to Qt4 (as "Kumula2"), so I feel free to call it "1.0".
- The whole suite is becoming bigger and bigger, so now its time to split it. This is the base package with the central Kumula library and the most important applications. The package contains the following programs:
BizCalc:
- The modular designed calculator tool, coming with a spartanic RPN calculator and an unit conversion module
Clients:
- The client/customer management application, with many improvements (like individual client attributes) and the modules "Info" (logo+description), "Contacts" (for managing contact persones, addresses and communication data) and "Tickets" (for letting the users talk about a client like on a web forum)
Configurator:
- The central configuration utility, to setup the database access and the user interface (menus, icons, ...) of all Kumula applications.
Users:
- A small tool for managing the people using Kumula.
- Further application will be provided in separate packages for easier maintenance and faster bugfixes and updates.

Easy Benchmarking Suite is aimed at testing and benchmarking sites. Basically, the suite can:
- Issue requests to a URL. A benchmark typically consists of a given number of clients that concurrently issue a number of requests. A request can be any HTTP request (GET, POST, HEAD etc.) with all necessary HTTP header information (session cookies, basic authentication information, etc.);
- Get a quick overview of the results of a benchmark: how many trials succeeded, what are the average times for connecting and processing, what is the standard deviation of these times;
- Prepare a GnuPlot command file so that the obtained results can be plotted.
This document describes the suite. Furthermore, manual pages are provided for the separate parts of the suite: sitebench, sitecollect, and siteplot.
