I've seen zero speed differences between the two programs, and find the UI
to be far more flexible (you *can* change it so you don't have the multiple
frames if that bothers you -- on a large monitor, they're really handy).
I've noticed no bugs (though I *can* tell you the MS *Exchange* client for
the Mac is garbage and loaded with bugs).
I've just switched to OE for internal company e-mail, and like it a lot.
What I do have a problem with, though, is explaining to the MIS tech why I
have to change configuration files in TCP/IP so I can get onto the internet
with FreePPP. On the PC, the OS seems smart enough to know when you're
getting a dialup connection. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to
avoid changing configuration files from TCP/IP "Ethernet" to TCP/IP
"FreePPP"?
