Carl, Thanks for taking steps on this. From us, and the UPenn people should be grateful too.Would further examples of long delays be useful? One of my posts yesterday took 3 hours from one Eskimo site to the other, was immediately posted to the first UPenn POP, and took from 17:39 Wed. to 10:05 Thurs to go from the UPenn outgoing server to Eskimo.-- Patricia M.
