   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 ...
