I have been trying to use a Linux computer as a POP server, got R.Hat 4.2 Linux intalled and working. The problem is that it takes about 35 seconds for a pop client to read and 1 minute to send mail from-to the Linux computer. To start a Telnet session from an NT client took 30 seconds. The Linux computer is on a small network, 20 computers running NT, WIN95 and WIN3.1 on tcp-ip. Did a comparison with a POP server running on an NT server (same hardware as the Linux computer) and got less than 1 second to read and 15 seconds to send from the clients. How can I improve the response time? I know the Linux computer can do a lot better than the NT server but have no idea of what´s wrong. Please help I am a new Linux user and desperate to get the system working properly, Alex -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
