Looking at the tcp stream, below, of a smtp conversation, it appears
there is 5 second delay before the actual smtp conversation begins.
Is this normal behavior.  If not, any ideas what/where specifically,
Any ideas of what are the next wireshark diagnostic tools I should be
using to further identify the problem.
