She may be running into an ISP who has declared Real Audio files
as filea non grata. <grin> I believe they are quite large and
do require a file type definition on the server side, something
like
.ra, .ram audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin or
audio/vnd.rn-realaudio
The server has to know what content type definition to send.
