I know you already send all the french mail to mail.fr.freebsd.org but if you have a backlog of mail to expurge, just send it to the same machine... It is connected thru a 2 Mbps to the french RENATER line, which almost the best you can find there. There are some sites on the 34 Mbps backbone, but since the US-RENATER connection is only 4 Mbps, you can hardly do better... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #7: Mon Dec 18 00:50:47 MET 1995
