- Blecccch. I'm a sysadmin of the site that has the Australian judge. We
- are at the end of a 38.4kbps SL/IP link, at the wrong end of a 128kbps
- ISDN link, on the wrong end of a .5Mbps satellite link.
-
- None of these things are particularly problematic for the operation of an
- email server. We had some problems recently (the VAX11/750 died^H^H^H^H
- retired) and the judge is now running on a salvaged Sun3/280. The thing
- is, if the mail gets through and your box is vaguely reliable, it's good
- enough to run the judge.
