Faulty Port 25 (SMTP)?!?!

Hi there,
Whenever I sent out an email, the data trickles only sporadic out (ie.
the blue screen of my network card does not light up continuously
until mail is sent out, but lights on and off all the time, taking about
10 times longer to finally sent out such email than on my other PC,
where this incident does not occur! Therefore, the fault cannot be
at my standard SMTP mail server I'm using.
Since I don't have anymore an active virus scan on this PC involved, it
cannot be the cause of this extreme delay. I noticed also that the green
progressing bar does NOT appear at all and the arrow out from the
basket is NOT moving (during such transmission mode). It's only at
the very end when such mail finally goes out that this bar will show
up at once...then completely and correctly filled up from left to right!
And I also tried to use different email programs (such as Netscape),
but the same fault occurs.
So it seems that "somehow" the data-flow passing through this Port 25
is getting "squeezed" at one stage, prior of passing at the end through
my (fast) cable modem; but where's/who's the "culprit" along its path??
And do note too: Even if I use my old 56k-modem, same problem.
And even if I use a different Port# (ie. after having installed first
a special sw-program for outgoing emails)...no change at all (!).
Hence, any valid feedback would be highly appreciated;
thank you very much in advance...
Best regards,
Philippe B.
