As I said before, the 2 setups are identical apart from the addition of the
protocol statement. "netstat -rn" is identical in both cases apart from the
ip addresses.

Not so. I have tried ping/ftp/www for anything up to 10 minutes including
shutting down and restarting the PPP connection as soon as the log tells
the connection is down. I am using the basic test IPFWADM ruleset from

ports and SCSI/IDE devices built in.
