Over the past year we have been on a growing neighborhood ethernet .. now a dozen DECNET hosts, dozen TCP/NFS Suns,
untrusted bridges .. 802.3 HP3000s and finally a dual 
homed VAX (ethernet and IMP).  My main daytime use is
on a 4.0.1 windowed 3/60 dataless NFS Client.

The main server for this client is a 4.0.3 server,
though my work space is on a 3.3 Sun OS 3/160 server. 
This is also where the clients get /var/spool/mail
( nfs,hard,intr .. rw ).

The bad part is unlike a few weeks ago .. ucb mail ..
Sunview mail both work very fast .. often I am frozen
15min to two hours waiting from the initial header until
the curses display of all the mail messages.  Same for
Ctrl_U updates .. traffic, etherfind, perfmeters all
suggest there are no bandwidth problems over the bridges
between the server and client.

VERY TRULY, AT_MY_WITS_END, any ideas REALLY welcome, adjs
to NFS whatever .. /Ev/
