Speeding up the get mail process:
=================================

In the file  x:\mptn\etc\hosts
you should have at least one entry; the IP address of your machine.
Unless you are connecting to some kind of network you can make up a 
number like the following:

192.9.200.1    stanhome stanhome.towianski.agn.net                               

--------------------
You want at least this one line in this file.
The important field I added to get the speed is the 'stanhome.towianski.agn.net'
after the 'stanhome'.  In your case stanhome would be the hostname you 
gave your machine.  This is done thru tcpcfg.  To find out what it is
now type 'set hostname' put that in place of stanhome (both places).
Now instead of .towianski.agn.net you want to put the domain name your
ISP gave you to use.  If you are using Advantis this would probably be '.ibm.net'

Your IP address you also set in tcpcfg.  Therefore your line in 
x:\mptn\etc\hosts would be something like:

192.9.200.1		mikespc  mikespc.ibm.net
