When I said pitifully poor, I meant a machine that ran lots of other stuff as well as news software, regularly had a full spool so you couldn't post to it, lost its article database every few weeks... basically it was a mess. And it still managed fairly decently when it was behaving. Of course, as you say, it had nowhere near the load. But it had nowhere near the capacity, so may have been running even more flat-out than Demon's one. -- Damien Burke (remove nojunkmail part of my address to reply) Opinions are mine alone and do not represent RNSETT.
