Subject:Vanagon List Mail Problem

Not centerline V'gon stuff here but related.

I'm having a problem downloading my mail, which includes my V'gon List
Mail.

I'm running Netscape 4.79  and have never ever had a problem with it for
the most part. Recently I switched to cable service for my net
connection. Now I am having problems downloading the mail. The mail
downloads and displays a percentage of download completed, always about
95/96 percent. Any e-mails over 100 and it hangs up and stops
downloading. Then it times out. When I retry, the percentage downloaded
is cut to about 85 percent. Then the cycle is repeated. Each attempt to
download results in a lesser percentage completed. This is driving me
nuts. I have spent hours and hours on the phone trying to work this out
with my cable serve here, but they have been unable to pinpoint the
problem. They have noticed that as the end of down load approaches, the
packet start to drop off an more and more packet requests are sent back
to the server.

Anybody got any ideas. My server doesn't seem to be able to pinpoint and
fix the problem, and it appears its going to be up to me, and I'm no
technoid with this stuff.

Please reply via P-mail. I know my inability to down load my V'gon mail
is a bit of a stretch for the band width for Vanagon content!!

Thanks,
