Indeed, I meant this one. But it doesn't seem to be the cause for your
problem. Sh..!

Ok, I am not that good that I have a solution by hand, but I could try
to help you.
Can you send attachments of smaller size, maybe 100k or so? And did you
try a really large text mail ( ~ 1 meg) without any attachment? Just
curiuos :-))
You mentioned a 56k modem line, could it be that this connection isn't
working correctly? It could be a hardware problem that will show much
more likely on large data sent then on many small ones.
The only other cause I see may be a firewall within your installation
that has a timeout too short for that large packets. But I prefer the
hardware to may cause your disconnection.
