I've been using my demon account for a while now, and have sent somewhere over 700 emails and news articles... however emails still seem to get sent bery slowly. What happens is watching the modem lights that for ages they just flick on and off occasionaly, sending nothing for more than a fraction of a second, then the send light will go on for 2 secs, then off as the recieve light briefly flashes, then another send after a 5 sec delay, then another.... and so on a couple of times, then a huge cople of minute delay before it all happens again This isn't too bad with short emails, but anything over 5K suffers, and as a consequnce a 116K email can take upto 20minutes to send !!!!!, even when email sending is the only client being used by NOS. New sending seems to be fine, a solid send, like FTP send and recieve, but email just seems to dither around and take AGES !!! Can anyone suggest a way of speeding this up, even WWW page getting is faster !!!, is this down to my setup ??? or demon's mail ???
