I've had the same problem before, but my experience has been if I give it a couple hours, it will be OK again. The specific problem is that, when I attempt to check mail via Eudora, I get the status window saying "Contacting miavx1.muohio.edu (134.53.7.10)" and then it just sits there and waves at me until it decides it's waited long enough, then I get a "Server not responding" alert. I can log in to the VAX fine and get my mail that way. I haven't had any trouble with the VAX being slow, just this Eudora problem (which I guess amounts to more of an annoyance than a problem). Just thought I would add my two cents. Dan Beekman [log in to unmask]
