And only one goes through JVNC. That poor line is successivley mauled by X.25 and then a Microvax. So the delays are understandable. I'd guess the load is quite heavy too since the ``ping" RTT's exhibit quite a high variance. The real problem is that it's oft hard to reach the SMTP ports over there. Torben
