Hi!!

I have a Linux-Box (YEAHH I just love it!!) as Proxy (Squid +
Masquerade) for a small LAN using a 56K-Modem for Dial-up. The LAN
formerly used A NT-Box with WinGate.

I noticed, that Wingate definitively dialed faster (shorter delay)
than pppd 2.3.8 (setup to dial on demand) does. It is annying for
example using Eudora to fetch mail. The time pppd needs to establish
the connection is too long for Eudora. You always have to reinitiate a
'fetch new mail' (it runs into a timeout on first try). On Wingate
this worked fine.

Has anyone any idea how to speed up that stuff??

Then, why use Eudora to get the POP mail ?  Why not retrieve automatically
the mail to the UNIX server, and make Eudora access the local server ?
Same for outgoing mail, queue them on the server.

Then establish a polling policy.
