No, Lynn, as you can see this first attempt to connect succeeded, and I was on for an hour. Now, I agree that since I got kicked off when four echoes failed there's strong suspicion that something was going on at the ISP PoP. But all the subsequent attempts to reconnect failed (using the same configuration!) until I rebooted. Now that also casts some suspicion on the Bering firewall as well. After all, if Bering fumbled the echo replies it might think the ISP was not responding. Bering terminated the link. I don't know the details of the protocol exchanges shown in the logs well enough to tell what's going on, except that the UID wasn't corrupted. Thought one of the experts might spot something.
