Mosaic problem!

I'm trying to get Mosaic to run (with a local Internet provider, not with CIS), but I can never get a connection to another system. It says it sent a request to the remote system, then nothing happens until many minutes later it says it failed. Using netstat shows that a connection is open with bytes waiting to be sent. This looks similar to a problem I'm having with SMTPpost and NNTPpost in the INetUtils package, except they *do* eventually get the message sent, whereas Mosaic just times out. But I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong. I think my setup is pretty much standard, and Telnet, FTP, Gopher, and inbound mail using POP all work fine with no such long delays. Has anyone experienced a similar problem, and what did you do to solve it?
