- Yes, I know BUT how does one know the actual speed when FroDo drops out
- to the batch file? I never could find a way to do this, but am guessing it
- can be done with enough fiddling. My method works here when I run FroDo,
- so I didn't fix it. ;-)

- Yes, I also know this but my connections want more security so I drop
- them into Waffle first. It also makes my system look more like a regular
- *NIX box this way. All uucp sites come in here the exact same way
- regardless of speed just fine.

- Perhaps, but not necessarily the same amongst different mailers. My
- method allows me to switch mailers without breaking *any* uucp chat
- scripts. My method is best for me, but may not be for others. ;-)
