Been there. No effect noted. I don't think that it's Linux in particular,
since I can't send any ftp-data from my home box to any sites on the
Internet if the file is more than about 30K. Similarly, a mail message I
mentioned is 117K and won't go out to my Linux mail hub nor to a Sun box
that is further upstream.

I'm still "testing" at this point. I'm not certain of any cause, but I do
know that I have to solve this before some clients start having trouble...
I know that there's some other people on the list that have experienced
this. It's not common, but I think I've noted 5 or so messages alluding to
problems like this..
If anyone is noticing that some services freeze after sending a few dozen KB
and then hang, let me know. It's surely some subtle interaction between
differing system(s) or components. I'd like to amass as much data as
possible.
