Regarding ftp I have similar probs; but - as with http - only some sites
seem to be affected.

As far as I know my provider (T-Online) provides Linux PPPoE drivers,
but that are also those pppoe from Roaring Penguin. The sad affair: I do
not know anymore if I have the "direct" version from RP or the .deb
version...shame...
The interesting point: today I talked with a friend who also cannot
reach those sites, neither from home nor university. Both use Linux
while the other fiends I talked to use Windoze. Thus, in fact it is a
prob of the OS/settings, not the provider/net etc.
thx,
