Problem with Telkom's POP3 Server?

[LazyLion]

was just at a client. She is still on dial-up.

Retired lady. Yesterday she was able to download her Telkom e-mail... but today it WILL NOT log in to the POP3 server. We have not changed any settings.

Funny thing is... I can ping the POP3 server... I just can't log into it to get her e-mail.

BTW, what ADSL can you guys suggest that I upgrade her to that is around the same price she is paying now for dial-up?
