Subject: PC-Pine slow over Ethernet

I have some users running PC-Pine with their mail stored on a Linux host 
running imapd.  Access to their inboxes is incredibly slow, often up to 
a minute or more, despite being connected over ethernet.  Occasionally 
also get repeated ICMP errors which are eventually followed by the 
prompt to log into the mailbox.  Why is this so slow and what can I do
about it?

Unix users who telnet into the Linux host have no such problems (but 
then their mail is on the same box).
