Andy,
 
AG> I was wondering if anyone had any best practices for setting up polling
AG> of other systems.
 
Pretty common in the days of PSTN, pretty useless in the days of IP.
 
A call costs nothing anymore, so whenever you have something go deliver it.
It's the fastest way of moving the Mail around.
 
There's a bunch of guys polling here to check if there's mail waiting for them
although I explained so many times it's useless as it has already been
delivered.
 
There's a guy from Germany polling here at least once an hour for the past 20+
years. It's a clear demonstration of not understanding how it works.
 
AG> Just curious on how the verterans handle this.
 
You're talking to #1 here re: D'bridge ...
