    I am not sure what you mean here.  Netmail goes as it is written, no
faster or slower than any others.  Netmail does not depend on the routing
file, if it's local then it should go directly to the node it's addressed
to, if long distance, then goes through the hub structure and ultimatley to
the node it's addressed to.  That can take awhile depending on how much
echomail is going at the same time.  I get my mail nearly every 2 hours.

 RB> Yes, I know.... I also don't have that much time as I want.. :(
    I picked up a job this week, so that has taken up some time.  I am sure
I will get some time to do the upgrade soon.

 RB> Hmmz... Good luck with your new uplink! :)

   I am sure it will go fairly smooth.  Our main feed who also feeds
several other nets is quitting this month.  He is the main feed for Region
19 and some others as well as some in Europe.
