Help?
 Youngstown State University is trying to implement university-wide
email using Linux for S/390 under VM/ESA. As part of this, we were hoping
to use IMP as the web mail application. However, response time is
awful. We are running a IBM 9672-R42 (generation 2) machine. Is this the
problem? I can't believe that IMP requires that much CPU. Maybe I'm wrong.
Upgrading the processor is not a current option. Moving it to a Intel, RS/6000,
Sun, etc. is an option. I personally would like to see it run (successfully) on
S/390. Any suggestion on how to improve performance or even determine
where the bottleneck exists that is causing the problem. I'm a Linux
newbie, really just an occasional user. I'm not the one installing and
implementing it so I have no idea where to turn to get guidance on this.
See Velocity Software’s WWW.LINUXVM.COM for hints and tips.
