Note: I can't be 100% sure that it was MSIE's fault. This is a hunch, based
on similar occurrences. (Hence, the mild statement "It appears that...")
Theoretically, it could be any number of weak spots along the connection from
extending from your browser all the way to the server -- it could be a
firewall, it could be your TCP/IP transport, it could be any ISP along the
way. It could even be the server. But the most likely source of the problem
(IMHO) is the browser. But there's no way to know for sure without doing lots
extensive testing or checking the MS bugbases. Is there a newer release of
MSIE for MacOS that you could try? 4.51 or something?
