Qing:

Unfortunately, I am heading to Washington DC tomorrow to speak with 
the FCC and ask it not to regulate ISPs out of business. But when I 
return, I will certainly test it and help you fix whatever is still 
broken. The problems seem to be that (a) proxy ARP doesn't get set 
up in either the ARP table or the routing table, and (b) the PPP 
daemon can't create or destroy many of the routes that the 
connections need to work.

I can't believe that a version of a major operating system shipped 
without the ability to do PPP, but apparently that's the case!
