Mail (pop3) & IP Masquerasing..

[Michael Beattie <mickyb@es.co.nz>]

I have had IP Masquerading running perfectly for the last 8-9 Months, but
My friend got to his inevitable reformat of his Windows 98 Hard Drive, and
he carefully asked me if I could install Linux for him... Fine by me, I
could then make use of his 56k modem via IP Masquerading. Everything is
installed and working well, but there is one problem. When I try to
download my mail from my pop account at our ISP (We have our own accounts
at the same ISP), fetchmail -v  gets to retrieving message 1, and then all
hell slows to a halt. It takes forever for the mail message to be
downloaded. Not that this is a major problem, It's just that it would be
handy if it actually worked properly.

Has anybody got any ideas on this? If you want more info, just ask... I
cant get the exact output now, I am using my modem for a change.. I can
next time the 56k is in use.
