ML> mmmmmm... is this mailer to mailer on POTS or something else?

 TJM> No, mailer to mailer via telnet is the issue.

ok... so what is the issue? 

i ran FD over telnet on dialup for years without any problems to speak
of... now on 3M/384k DSL some minor anomolies do not appear any more so i
assume that they are/were timing based due to the limited dialup connection
bandwidth...

1. what are your machine's specs?
  a. CPU and mhz
  b. memory
  c. hard disk size
2. what OS?
3. what FOSSIL?
4. what telnet shim or virtual modem?
5. what version of FD?
6. describe the actual problem you are seeing.
7. post log snippets showing problem.

all i/we can do is try to help...
