We've got a simple Mac Classic II setup at home for my wife on a Drop-In
account. We use Eudora 3.1 with FreePPP and MacTCP, and all a2i server
entries are current. She gets some email as large listserver digests
(perhaps 50k or larger), but these come in very slowly, usually in bursts
which are separated by delays long enough for Eudora to ask if we want to
quit the download. Oftentimes the download cannot complete, so mail is
being lost. I've watched the modem SEND and RECEIVE Leds to see if it was
our Mac or a2i which was sitting and waiting during these pauses, and it
appears a2i is where the stoppage is occurring.

Is there some speed or loading issue going on with pop.rahul.net or
something?

Thanks.
