Stief, I gotta say you are synchronized!!! Really! I've had courriels problems (can't send more than few kilobytes courriels) with sympatico with firmware 1.45.6 since I installed it this summer. I thought the problem was on their side (as usual) and I even lost one hour with their lousy tech support this week! I've since done extensive tests (friday) and figured out that the culprit was the router! I've downgrade the firmware version to 1.44.2 ( ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/befsr41/ ) and no more courriels problems! I think the version 1.45.6 is for the befsr41 version 3 a model I've found on their website, hence the incompatibility.
