greetings, I've got a very weird problem. I work at a small company which brings Internet access to the public, much like a internet cafe without the coffee. :) whenever I try to POST a message, for example from a webmail page, if the message is "large" (like 500 characters or so), it just won't post it. It stays "waiting for reply" and then Netscape (Navigator 4.08) shows a "document contains no data". If we cut the message into a smaller size, it POSTs it without any problem. I know it sounds weird, but the problem is that. What can it be? I have no idea so please help me. jaime.

greetings, 
 
I've got a very weird problem. I work at a small company which brings Internet access to the 
public, much like a internet cafe without the coffee.

whenever I try to POST a message, for 
example from a webmail page, if the message is "large" (like 500 characters or so), it 
just won't post it. It stays "waiting for reply" and then Netscape (Navigator 4.08) shows a 
"document contains no data". If we cut the message into a smaller size, it POSTs it 
without any problem. 
 
I know it sounds weird, but the problem is that. What can it be? I have no idea so please help 
me. 
 
jaime.
