different threads from you.  My head is starting to spin.

	I agree.

	Um, from the box that 203.3.126.129 is in, you get host is down?
Someone else can field that question.

	Sounds like routing...

	Sounds like routing...

	killall ppp, or if you setup a port to listen on you could use
pppctl to connect to ppp and send commands.  I can't remember the command
off the top of my head, It's in my config file that I said I'd send you when
I get home.
