So it looks like everything is ok. I also can't see anything wrong with
your routing table.
One thing wasn't clear to me from what you've said so far: Con you not
even ping the other side of your PPP connection by IP address
(129.170.40.12)? Or if they won't even let you do that, how about telnet
(by the raw IP address -- keep DNS out of it initially).
I also noticed:

So they want to use AppleTalk and you are rejecting that. Shouldn't
necessarily be a problem though.
One side comment: It is unnecessary to BASE 64-encode your plain text
attachments. That makes more work for someone to look at them. Hmm.
Looks like you are posting from a Mac? Maybe just paste this stuff into
your composition window to avoid the issue.
