#define PPP	ppp machine with lp0 to LOST and tun0 to ISP
		starts at 204.57.120.200 and gets reassigned to 
		204.57.120.[50-100].  ifconfig lp0 inet PPP LOST

#define LOST	204.57.120.201 with ifconfig lp0 inet LOST PPP

#define ISP	204.57.120.3
		

LOST can always ping/rlogin to PPP.
PPP can always ping/rlogin to LOST.
PPP can always ping/rlogin to ISP.
(except Netscape hangs with a DNS lookup failure if it is the program 
that starts an ondemand connection, but that's another story)

LOST can NEVER ping/rlogin to ISP.
