I have the answer, and it's going to make everyone groan!

As far as I could tell, there was nothing wrong.  And the hints/tips all
you kind souls sent me were things I'd already looked for (mostly).

In escense, no one could work out why it was happening.

The answer: some silly billy had given me a phone number that connected
to a 14.4 modem!  D'oh!  I can't believe I wasted all these hours looking
for a problem that was nothing to do with me or my system!  :)

Many thanks to all,
Jason.
