Some have recently had problems with both Netscape and IE3 mail not being able to download (timing out) on large file attachments. On our LAN, I have sent myself multi-megabyte files via mail and had NO problems recieving them with both Netscape 3.01 and IE3 for Windows95. We're using qpop-2.2 on a 2.1.5-release system running Sendmail 8.8.4. Our clients connect either through a Portmaster (on the same physical ethernet network), or localhost via Cyclades 8Yo - all users using either Win95 or Win 3.1 and PPP (most with an MTU of 1500) I'm not married to qpop, is there another option (preferibly something that doesn't use inetd but isn't a pain)... ttyl JS --- Intrastellar Internet Service - Houston County, Texas Voice: (409) 687-9066 Web: http://www.intrastar.net/ "And Jacob Plows, Fool!"
