For some reason, Firefox goes into offline mode by default. I turned off
offline mode and I can surf now. Pan doesn't seem to play so well on
this connection.
Route -n gives this when connected:

My VPN software works at this point and my routes are now updated to
include all Intranet IPs.
E-mail is slow, but internal chat works well.
I call this a win-win...
BTW, I'm using a Sprint 8830 and Ubuntu Hardy Heron...
I will also be testing FC9 as we have an internal build based on that
release.
Thanks!
