I tried sending the same attachment to the same web mail servers and POP
servers using the same ISP from my home. When sending the attachment to
both web mail servers the transfer time was less than 5 seconds.

Here's the differences:

My home system:
WinXP Pro/SP1
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
1.GB RAM connected directly to ISP network.

Problem system:
WinXP Pro/SP1
Pentium II (660MHz)
256MB RAM
Connected with one other PC through Linksis router then to ISP.

Apparently the only differences are the PC/router.

I watched the attachment being sent to the web mail server using the
Performance MSC set to monitor bytes sent. There was a burst of data for
about two seconds right at the beginning then a long 4 minute pause while
the web server digested the upload and was ready for another.

Any ideas what in the system can cause a delay like I described?

Thanks again to all that have replied.
