Hello Is there a timeout in kppp? When downloading mail from isp everything works great unless I get a large attatchment. Kmail and Netscape mail fail at the same point. The only way I have been able to get these attatchments is to shut down and boot Windows. I have also been unable to use Mandrake Update for the same reason. Very small files come through OK, but anything over 50K stalls. Kppp Statistics shows that downloading has stopped. I am using Mandrake 8.0 and a very slow isp (average download speed is between 2.5 and 4 kps). TIA Lee Waters
