I suggest that you try this on the client-installation to see whether
indeed that this is the problem; if it is, then you can either petition
the ISP to look into this, or reconfigure all your FreeBSD client
installations that have problems.
The last time this happened to me was 'cos my ISP decided to upgrade
the PPP software without informing the users.
Cheers.
