SHOW <STATS>  and SHOW  DIST will  give you  some information  about what
happened since the last time LISTSERV was rebooted, and the status of the
queue.

I have. Paging was 28/sec at 22:30,  no wonder. When I get bored with the
VAX I hit my #CP  Q R ALL LISTSERV PF-key and tell it  to CP ORDER what I
am interested in. Lots of INFO-VAX rubbish  in the queue, from what I can
see. There may be other sites with capacity problems; if you find one and
can suggest a workable alternative, contact  me and I'll bring the matter
up with them.
