I get this behaviour under NT too sometimes, I think it must be the ISP doing
security checks at their end.

ifconfig looks fine
netstat -s shows nothing untorward with ICMP but with IP it reports what I
noticed
when I did a strace of ping that there are more outgoing packets than incoming
packets.
I'm out of my depth when it comes to these commands, I've just no idea what a
normal
connection should look like.
Thanks to all of you for the ideas, especially Jan and Clifford but I think I'm
going
to have one more go setting ppp up from scratch using the sledgehammer aproach
and then I'm going to give up.

Paul
