Oh, there's always a hi to the gals out there. ;)

Oh yeah, did all the usual sysadmin checks to trace source of error. (Old
habit)
* It's not just one file. Tried it with different files, with different
file types, and different sizes.
* Only files < 1K get sent.
* Most files seem to get stuck around the 10-11K mark i.e., after 10-11K
has been sent. This is also true for FTP uploads.
* It's not just Eudora. Outlook Express does the same thing. Says
connection was closed by remote network.
* FTP downloads work fine. Downloaded a 5MB file to be sure.
* HTTP uploads hang as well.
* Therefore, problem is with uploads only, and not just the mail client.
* No, it's not the firewall. I disabled that and tried too. I use Sygate
Personal Firewall.
* No, the connection doesn't drop. However, it goes dead for a few seconds
after I attempt to upload a file or send an attachment. It works fine after
10 seconds or so after that.
So I've isolated the problem, but can't remember making any config change
in network or modem settings that might have triggered it. Will keep Googling.
