Subject:   IP 'services' stop during download

I have noticed that, during an ftp download, several IP services are
inaccessible. For example, DNS look-ups time-out and netstat (without
any parameters) just hangs until the ftp ends. My system only has one
interface, userland ppp over a 28k modem (configured for auto-dialing),
which also handles all my DNS look-ups. My hostname is fictitious but
resolved in 'hosts'.

I would have thought that the DNS replies are simply being dropped by
the router at the other end of the phone line except that the ftp isn't
filling the entire pipe and, as mentioned, netstat also hangs.

'top' doesn't show anything spinning and all other programs work fine.

Can anyone think of anything that might cause this ? Has anyone else
noticed this ?
