DISCONNECTION PROBLEM WITH OSX MAIL

[Mike MOORE]

Hi all

I'm having problems with Mail 1.3(v606) - it receives mail fine but 
continually disconnects me whenever I try and send mail with 
attachments.

The internet connection disconnects and takes forever to actually 
disconnect - sometimes 4-5 minutes.

I get  a message saying the disconnection has occurred because other 
side is not responding - notwithstanding the flashing send/receive 
'lights' in Internet Connect when the disconnection occurs.

I have tried iinot's support and they claim it is nothing they are 
doing at their end, and suggest that it is a telephone line problem.

Similarly Telstra are claiming they have tested the line and it is 
okay, and therefore it must be the internet provider.

Before I starting getting really ugly with the two parties who are each 
claim it is the others doing I thought that I best first check to see 
if others have had this problem and if so how they established what the 
real cause was.
