Hi Rene,

 RB> Hi Linda,

 RB> Op 13 December 1998, zo ongeveer rond 22:29, was Linda 
 RB> Hargraves bezig een berichtje in zijn PC te stampen. 
 RB> Dit werd uiteraard opgemerkt door Rene Bakker, die 
 RB> meteen de reply-knop inbeukte.
 LH>> I am not sure what you mean here.  Netmail goes as it is
 LH>> written, no faster or slower than any others.  Netmail does not
 LH>> depend on the
 LH>    [snip]
 LH> directly to th node it is addressed to.  It should not take a week,
 LH> unless the person receiving the mail is not replying right away.
 RB> Indeed... But with netmail, unlike echomail, all 
 RB> systems are listed in a 'via'-list. And if someone 
 RB> receives the netmail, and the next system 14 days 
 RB> later, it's caused by the one of the two that makes 
 RB> polls....
   If the netmail is routed CRASH, no polls should be needed within a net,
only non-crash mail sent out of a net would need to be polled.
 LH>> I picked up a job this week, so that has taken
 RB>> up some time.  I am
 LH>> sure I will get some time to do the upgrade soon.
 RB>> Of course, good luck on your job! :)
 LH>     Thanks.  I sure hope it works out.  I do enjoy it and I am
 LH> learning win95 which is a good thing even if I 
 RB> still don't want to use
 LH> it.
 RB> (*grin*)
 RB> At any rate never run microschoft bugware on it.... I 
 RB> found out that most GP errors were caused by:
 RB> * Microsoft Office
 RB> * Microsoft Internet Explorer
   I am using Netscape anyway.
 RB> So, think twice before installing anything from microschoft :)
 LH>> I am sure it will go fairly smooth.  Our main feed who also
 LH>> feeds several other nets is quitting this month.  He is the main
 LH>> feed for Region 19 and some others as well as some in Europe.
 RB>> Hmmz... Strange je is also for Europe...
 RB>> But mostly it goes smooth, for when the new uplink
 RB>> links you, the old unlinks, so no messages are lost or
 RB>> something like that.
     [snip]
 RB> Of course, and you should only then do it :)
 RB> The mail won't walk away from your uplink :)

     Right, I will be finding out soon who will be the new mail feed.
