Thanks Len...
It's S-DSL, so 144 both ways. and the "so long" means it is taking hours
for the 100K messages... I'm 99.9% sure that the problem (is there indeed
is one) is not with her connection to us...

yes, would be my guess. When an SMTPD accepts a msg, it must accept the
whole msg, with the final handshake, and write the whole msg to disk before
ack the sender.

I don't know, but 144 (A)DSL is 144 down but how much up? usually much
smaller, maybe only 33.
How long is 'so long'. how many bits/sec upload speed does she have for
the 150 kbytes? 150 kbytes / 3 kytes/sec = 50 secs.
