[InHam] ARRL Mail

Thu, 17 Jan 2002 09:30:48 -0500

I've been using the ARRL forwarding service for quite some time.  I started 
using it as soon as they created the service.  I haven't had any problems.

I just sent a message from my ISP through my ARRL forwarding account which 
was then forwarded back to my ISP (I rarely talk to myself, honest! ).  The 
message took 15 seconds to get to ARRL then back to me.
