I have i486DX2-50MHz as slow machine. I use this as main server (SMTP/POP/SAMBA/NSF/SSH/... and IPMASQ). I keep this machine 24/7. All other machine get rebooted for several reasons. One Linux is main WS. I fetchmail external POP account to both SLOW machine and WS with different intervals. SLOW machine is few times a day too keep my external POP manageable. WS not only fetchmail from external POP but also from SLOW machine so I eventually get mail one way or another :) This set up works nicely with my wife's PC on LAN. Since mail are cached at local POP server using POP, she has comfortable speed of access feelings :) Just my 2 cents. -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ +++++ Osamu Aoki @ Cupertino CA USA See "User's Guide": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/ See "Debian reference": http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ "Debian reference" Project at: http://qref.sf.net I welcome your constructive criticisms and corrections. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
