I have 2 questions regarding uploads to simtel. The first concerns
the frequency. Are uploads done in bulk at a particular time or are 
files uploaded as they are received? I would prefer to have to update my
simibm database only once per month.

Secondly, is there a way of just downloading the changes to the list
and running a program to update the old database rather than having to 
get the whole file which, at 1200bps, takes forever?

Thanks in advance,
-Graham
