We use two different products to transfer files to an IBM mainframe.  FTP
and NRJE.  Let me tell you, ftp is MUCH faster (on the order of hours).  It
may be a poor performer, but if that is true, it doesn't say much for NRJE.

P.S. Lars - I am working on that html problem.  Help desk can't figure out
why it is sending this way.

        ahhh - this is one of my more nagging questions....  is ftp as much
of a poor
        performer as i'm hearing?  i'm getting alot of grumbling about ftp
'being
        slow'.
        i can't see any problem.  the only common denominator is there's a
        'foreign' box (not mpe) box involved.  and ftp is remarkably
unconfigurable
        (unless i'm confused (like normal) :-)                 - d
