I've seen this mostly with Outlook [Express] -- is that what's being
used? Try having the user increase the timeout in the client. Also,
some users have downloaded Registry hacks that monkey with the TCP
parameters, which could lead to packet fragmentation, retransmission,
etc. A packet sniff of a failing session should be helpful in
determining that.
