not exactly.  mutt does not queue any mail. It just feeds your
postings to a local sendmail process, which may decide to store it
or send it through your IP stack.

Sounds like you're having a general problem with your IP stack and ppp
configuration in particular.  So this is not a sendmail or mutt issue.

Try reducing the mtu-value in /etc/ppp/options .  You might also want
to put in some hayes commands to turn off hardware data compression,
which may be broken on your card. If the problem persists, have a look
at http://sdb.suse.com/

...on your box: yes.
In general, sending huge files works fine with linux.
