J & J, It is Telstra ADSL, but I don't think that is my problem, besides, I don't have a competitive alternative where some of these sites are located.
The server, which is behind a gateway box (which latter has the ADSL connection), has its MTU set at 1500, but I think the chocking is happening on the ADSL/gateway box. Perhaps its not fragmenting. Most of the traffic is interactive telnet, so the packet sizes are small, but when the server sends out a largish screenful, or when a print job goes out from the server, then the problem seems to appear. rp-pppoe has CLAMPMSS set to 1412 in the pppoe.conf file, so maybe if I set the MTU of the server interface to that same value it might just fix things. Does this make sense?
