Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Howdy, If I hadn't trashed my HD on the laptop I wouldn't have noticed but, I quickly install a 5 disk set of Linux I keep handy in the bag. Check my mail using popclient on the machine and the reading time was 1/4 that of FreeBSD (2.1.5) using popclient to the same server (I've kept Lin*x on the smaller machine for testing over the last two weeks) Obviously, I've not set up FreeBSD right (I meam this little 486/25 is faster than my desktop in reading mail). I've turned off (or not turned on) the flushing function and still no difference, in fact BSD seem to still take the same time either way even if it's not flushing the server. Any ideas how I can get popclient cranked up on the laptop. TIA _________ Keith kleon@bellsouth.net WebMaster - http://www.rexart.com - Rex Artist Supplies _________
