I agree your VoIP adapter seems to be where the culprit. My knowledge is limited
in this area, but may give you some clues on where to look.
Your adapter may be assigning dedicated bandwidth to your voice calls to ensure
real time quality of service. This is because theoretically data isn't fussy
about how long it takes to transfer. Ideally this should happen dynamically ie
when you are using your phone the capacity is assigned to the voice channel at
other times the data can use up all the bandwidth.

Thanks Marghanita.
Update on this.
1. I had no net connection for about 18hrs. When I was able to call TPG
they suggested I change the 'modulation type' setting in my modem
(DSL-502T) from multi-mode to G.dmt.
This fixed the net connection problem.
2. I have a mynetfone VOIP adapter. By disconnecting the adapter from my
network (modem -> VOIP adapter -> hub -> PCs) I can now upload files to
my online storage and send this e-mail -which is longer than 150 words.
It would appear there is something going on :)) but exactly what I'm not
sure. The mynetfone adapter works otherwise and my connection is okay
when it's plugged in *but* my e-mail and uploading is seriously
restricted when it's connected.
Any other assistance/suggestions would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi All,
I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 on Dapper.
On the odd occasion I've had these problems, but today it's been
*all* day.
I cannot send e-mail with more than a few lines - approx 150 words.
It's as if there is a problem sending e-mail only as I can upload
files, so it's not like I've got a problem with the ISP blocking
anything outgoing of any real size.
Though it could be the ISPs outgoing email server - this is setup
under preferences/account settings. But perhaps your ISP is tightening
up their systems.
Has anyone any ideas that may be of assistance.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Patrick
