We have about 700 clients here, could easily go up to 1000 or more. I have 2 questions: 1. What is the best pop server to use? 2. More than a few have user names longer than 8 characters, I have read where you can recompile the kernel to allow for user names greater in length than 8, does anyone know of any specific problems this will cause me with other programs? TIA Later Kelley
