The ISP has multiple vPoPs, and I tried switching to a different one which is
answered by 3com NASs, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. So I guess I
need to be pointing the finger at something local again. BTW, do you know
anything about a bug in some versions of Ascend NASs that causes them to
negotiate an mru (1524) that they can't handle?

It's a PCMCIA combo card (3Com EtherLink III, cardmgr sees it as "3Com
3c562/3c563 Ethernet/Modem". I don't know how PCMCIA modems pretending to
be serial ports work, but I imagine this eliminates one or two potential areas
for problems.

Umm, yes, so not really a good test (but at that point I was trying to
eliminate problems with the TCP stack on the machine I was trying to talk to).
