Here are the results of "ifconfig", with ip addresses replaced with "[private?]": ===== bash.2[~]: ifconfig eno1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet [private?] netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast [private?] inet6 [private?] prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> inet6 [private?] prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether [private?] txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 484153 bytes 709486540 (676.6 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 220211 bytes 16656790 (15.8 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 device interrupt 20 memory 0xf7400000-f7420000 lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 65536 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host> loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback) RX packets 24 bytes 1824 (1.7 KiB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 24 bytes 1824 (1.7 KiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 virbr0: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet [private?] netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast [private?] ether [private] txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 bash.3[~]: ===== No problems here, right? I do not have a cell phone. I'm limited to what's on my work station. It's my understanding that free yahoo e-mail is limited to imap, pop3 cannot be used. Later this week, I'll try evolution on the e-mail account that I use for computer things, including this list. I watched the KSysGuard graph while downloading a message with a 4 megabyte picture attached. It showed download speeds generally between 80 and 90 KiB/s (is the 'B' bits or bytes here?). While downloading a big picture from google images, it got up to almost 4 MB/s. My ISP (comcast) provides peak download speed of 60Mbps. By the way, since ifconfig shows "mtu" values, it was "mtu" I was asking about. I had never heard of "mta" except as "Metro Transit Authority". So it's good to learn e-mail-related meanings of "mta" and "mda" also; thank-you. thanks, Bill. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
