I believe that I missed much of this conversation.  Our system has been
having some major problems (incoming mail works, but that is about it;
hopefully this will make it out).

I believe that ATP is good to use.  And the speed tradeoff is not
significant.

As for some timings, Public Folder gets between 4500 bytes/second and
5200 bytes/second between two SEs.  Compare that with using floppies and
tennis shoes...  (This is over LocalTalk.)
