   It could be that BeOS default MTU is 1500 and some clueless ISPs block   
   ICMP requests and thus the connection hangs.   
      
   See if you can set the MTU (I don't know how but I guess there is a   
   config file for DSL where you can tell it so) to 1492 or if that not   
   works to 1442. You need to start a new connection after you did the   
   changes.
