local community might be worthwhile.
One problem is that most ham tcp/ip connections still run over lossy
links. This causes delays as the lost packets get replaced. Where
this is the biggest problem is that the Microsoft (and Macintosh)
TCP implementations seem to be tuned for higher-performance networks
where lost packets are far less frequent. Side-by-side, the Linux
and BSD networking implementations work better in ham networks than
the consumer-grade OSs. Since they're free, the Linux and BSD OSs
don't present a cost problem, but they might require a bit more
management skill (albeit, less often) than Win9X does. Still, it's
fun either way.
That's why I play with it.

They claim that they have to cope with equipment delivery schedules.
Sounds fair to me. They also say that the new competitors have filed
inaccurate projections of required capacity over time, and are requesting
extra capacity on too short notice.
At least one of the customers of the new telecom companies (an ISP)
claims they have filed accurate projections of *their* required capacity,
so my guess is that that telco has sold more capacity to its customers
than it has requested from KPN. So, most of the blaim is with the new
telecom companies, but the consumer is the victim and he can only complain
with his service provider (ISP in this case), who is not at fault.

Subject: Personal Mail Box Software
I have an old TNC (TAPR) that does not support a personal
mailbox. I also have an old MSDOS (286) computer that is
looking for something to do. Is there any software that
I could use to provide a personal mailbox with this
equipment?
Thanks
