Have you tried VSoup? It's fast!  Using it along with SOS right now but am 
looking for something with a little more control on the tossing end of 
things......hence taking a look at Gigo.  Tried Changi but for some reason 
can't seem to make decent connects.........??

Quick question here Paul, if you don't mind............it would that due to 
the fact of not having a static IP, I will have to go with a UUCP connection. 
 Now to be quite honest about it, I'm not really sure what's going on at that 
end of things.  If I'm reading the docs right, using the UUCP setup entails 
using VSoup to download the Soup packets and then using Gigo to generate the 
*.PKT packets which are then in turn tossed by my mail tosser (Squish).  How 
is this different from when using the gigt method?; I guess I'm having 
trouble seeing the differences between the two methods.
Any info you (or others) might be able to send me to clear up some of this 
haziness on my part would be very much appreciated.................thanks!
