BL> I've noticed that you repond much quicker now. Have you removed a

PE> No I haven't.  I haven't made any changes until

BTW, the above statement is innaccurate.  Although the original was
about removing a delay, I should have said something like "no change
to my mailer, anyway", rather than just "no change", because I had
changed the modem from debugging info on to off.

RS> Yeah, I've noticed that the upload of my outgoing PKT gets going

Yeah, 1.5 seconds negotiation is about what everyone else is getting.

BL> it was this end. It's been okay since... except
BL> I've noticed that you are faster to respond now.

PE> Seems like 2.60 is working OK, I'm going to

RS> Just dont inhale for christ sake. You are bad enough already.

Pardon?  Inhale?  Bad enough at making changes?  I did let you all
know that when Binkley 2.60 came in, I would be using it, and then
when I finally got it, I put it in unmodified for a day, and I told
you all what I was doing too.  

It is unfortunate that I wish to do two rare things here:
1. Run a reliable mail service
2. Develop software

And the second basically compromises the first.  On the other hand,
you can argue that since day 1 I never had reliable-enough software,
and ever since then, I have been developing software that I had
control over.  In the main, it's worked.  You can't quote too many
instances of lost mail due to my end.  You can quote failed sessions
though.

BFN.  Paul.
