Indeed it does. *thwap*

Nope; the only thing I can ping or otherwise communicate with is localhost
& the dynamic IP which I'm assigned (from /var/log/ppp.log).

I've tried nobsdcomp, nodeflate, novjc, novjccomp, and probably a few other
things; nothing cures it. I reckon that even if the compression stuff
wasn't set right, _some_ packets should make their way in/out.
Incidentaly, I earlier tried upgrading to potato (libc6 & so on) and
recompiling the kernel to include anything which looks even remotely
route-looking; no luck (made the man output have a Perl error though;
nothing serious).
I'm starting to think that I've either got a curse put on me my by an evil
goat, or I'm just doooomed to failure.
Any other ideas, anyone? (Pretty please?)
